Don't get the MAC cover. It leaks all the time. I would get ruffstuff.

do ya fill it until it starts dripping out the fill hole?
if ya put too much in, would it "hurt" anything, or just foam up

if you put too much it could blow the axle seals.

you fill it from the front fill hole until it starts to run out. then put the plug in

Yeah. Just fill until it comes out of the stock fill hole.

DON"T use the mac fill hole. Use the factory hole on the back side. the mac hole will allow too much to go in.

When I filled mine I filled it using the MAC fill hole until it ran out the stock fill hole.

Don't you need some kind of sealer for the gasket? And also how much fluid would go in the smaller axle since I'm pretty sure that's what I have, but I'll go look?
