I was squeezing the bottle pretty hard and pop, the tube came off the bottle and gear oil went all over my tire and rim (and me!). Crap. What a mess. I ended up just crawling under and putting it directly in the diff. A little more of a pain, but easier to squeeze the bottle. And another thing, the Motorcraft Friction Modifier stinks something horrible. I mean gear oil stinks, but this stuff is just horrible. I mean gross. I deal with all kinds of body smells all day at work and this is worse than any of them. And it won't wash off. I think I am going to have to throw away my shirt and rag that got some on it. I showered and soaped up 3 times and I still smell of it. And an ironic thing, I went for a test drive, turned around in intersections a few times and such. Well, road was still wet so I figured I would do a quick tire spin to see how it did (have not done one in years). So I get on a straight road with no houses and do a burn out, and as I get to the intersection, constable is pulling up to the corner. He follows me to my house and asks me how its going. I explain what I was doing and he laughs and tells me have a nice day. I also noticed that the pinion is leaking some, so I need to look into that. How hard is that to replace?
Have to take whole diff apart iirc

Just found a write up on it, seems pretty simple, and no disassembly of the diff, just the pinion on the outside.

Yeah the modifier smells horrible, its horrible when we have to get the old ring and pinions and they just reek of that modifier and the stench of it lasts for days, but should come off of your clothes

Put a nice 2 foot long scratch down the length of the painted rear bumper with a metal cart from home depot. Dark blue truck, nice long white scratch.
Just waxed it the other day too.

Lol yeah this is what happens when you side swipe a bolt sticking out of a fence post. Luckily I picked up two new doors and I don't have to look at that anymore
