AT- tranny fluid drain needed to swap out axle?
Replaced my driver's side axle last year, and had drained the automatic tranny before removing the axle as I was going to clean the pan and swap out for a vb mod at the same time.
Now it's time for the passenger side- not going do to anythign else while I'm in there this time- do I need to drain the tranny first? I've searched and searched, and I found a few threads where someone mentioned in passing that a few drops or even a small amount of fluid might leak out, but I haven't seen anyone mention explicitly NO, you don't need to drain the AT to remove the passenger side axle.
Any comments here? I don't want to have to drian the tranny, but I also don't want a gallon+ of AT fluid on my garage floor (though I guess I could put a pan underneath, I just don't want to be surprised).
Thanks all!
