This video demonstrates how to drain the rear differential replace both axle shafts, bearings, seals, and refill the rear differential on the 1997-2003 Ford F-150. The truck in the video is equipped with the 8.8 rear end but the 9.75 rear end is pretty much the same procedure. The majority of the replacement parts and tools used in this video were purchased from Amazon and I have provided links to everything below.
