Technical Hailbrand quick change rear oil change

Hi hambers any recommendations on what to use for changing the fluid in my Raar end, as well as fill, drain and how to check level.... Just want to make sure I don't mess anything up its a *****ing piece, I think it makes my 3 window coupe complete, if u know what I mean!!!
Thx R

 

Fastest way to drain it is to pull the end cover off. Let it sit for 30 minutes or so. All the gear oil will run out through the bearings, but 90wt is kind of slow. I use a pump oil can to refill. It also takes a while to pump the 90wt back in. Fill through the plug in the end cover until it just starts to run out. Again, give it some time to run back into the front banjo area, and top off as needed. I cut some off the oil can's spout to get a larger opening. Another option is the plastic pump containers that Sta-Lube comes in.

 

Thx dude info is much appreciated, will help me out!

Sprint car guys use a fill can attached to the ch***is with a hose to the QC. The can will hold the right amount of oil. Speedway Motors sells 'em or make your own. Saves time and h***le.

 

My method is a little messy. I squeeze lube into the main housing and rear cover until they are both over-filled, then let them drip for a few minutes until the fluid levels out. By the way, I'm using Valvoline Dura Blend 80/90, recommended by Halibrand.

 

V8 Bob is right on with the Valvoline Dura Blend 80/90 as it is what Halibrand says to use in everything I have been reading.

 

Ted Halibrand told me to use Sta-Lube 90wt when I bought my first quick change from him in 1960. It was good enough then, it's good enough now.

 

Thx agin guys for all the help, it's great to get advise from people that have been around the hobby for a long time, it's stuff like this That I learn and p*** on
Thx R

 

Hey Skidlid!!!!
I have a 29 ford hotrod truck with a Culver City Halibrand. Wondering what you ever found out or did with yours as I’ve owned it for 2 years now and never done any maintenance yet and would like to. Thanks

I have three plugs. What’s what? What oil to use? Is mine pictures ok? And how much does it take ?
Thanks

Be careful if your quick change is using sealed bearings, you will need to fill the rear gear area separate from the front ring/pinion area! If your bearings are the older style open bearings then you can do as advised. Mine has sealed and when I take the rear cover off to mess with the QC gears it only drains the rear compartment. That would be an expensive mistake…
