What's the best way to clean out the diffs when doing a rebuild or changing diff fluid?

I stepped mine down to 2 gold and 2 green with all KH 7075. I get less spin and a lot more controllable out of the dusty corners. Still plenty to clear big jumps. I like the way it feels.

Freefall--do you sleep?

I leave the outdrive in place on the opposite side of the ring gear and fill with brake clean. Then use a q-tip to loosen up the diff oil. Dump it out and finish cleaning with a q-tip. it takes about two or three minuts once the diff is opened up. Pretty easy.
