CTSmechanic, I filled the normal way - to the bottom of the fill hole. I still get oil coming out the filter if I have it installed. How do you fill yours?

Thanks,

Jim

I had a 9 inch and was going to use the same method we use in our rearend housings on the race trucks... Inner axle seals with a -8 vent line a small baffel welded inside the housing...... I like to run the oil level where I can barely touch it with my finger

I don't use the holes on my moser's TA cover at all.I have them sealed up with silicone as they had a nasty tendency to weep oil.

On the passenger side of the rear center pumpkin there is a fill plug that requires a 9/16" allen head to remove or tighten.With the car level fill the rear with oil till it just starts to come back out of that hole.Install fill plug and tighten.Done.
