Next I wondered what could you do with the ATF funnel that would do the same thing without lubrication and I came up with the Panty Hoes idea.
I hope someone will try it; just to see if it works. If not they can use the Gear Lube.
The Boots on my rebuilt Axles put on about 1 year ago are OK so I won't have a chance to test the idea myself for a long time.
