i knwo its nto a contour, but i need some help on this one. i knwo we are supposed to shove a dowel or broomstick into the diff/trans to keep the gears from falling into the case, but which axle do we remove first???


if we remove the right side, first and then slide the stick in through that side while we rmove the left, will the gears still fall???? we have a haines, and all it says is

"Remove axle and slide dowel through openiong to secure differential gears. if this step is not performed the gears will fall to the bottom of the differential, resulting in a costly trip to your local ford dealer or authorized service center."


HELP???

car is a 1991 Escort 4dr. MTX 5 speed...ummm 192,000 miles on factory clutch...1.9L EFI motor (non DOHC)...
and whats this i see about pumoing the old dluid out the the VSS hole??? again!!!
