What transfer pump have you had luck with?

I am going to be replacing the fluid in my 8 3/4 soon and I was wondering what transfer pump works best on a budget to remove the fluid? Basically a hand pump style nothing too fancy

I just pull the center section away a 1/2 inch or so and drain it into a large oil drain pan. Keep a nut or two on the studs to keep it from coming completely off.

I bought a hand held pump from an auto parts store and it had ribs along the length, totally useless waste of money.

Use grease on one side of your housing gasket and it won't tear when you pull the front of the chunk off to drain the oil.

Yep, rtv or similar your gasket to the housing. Then a little gear oil on the front side and you can use the gasket over many times.
I’ve changed my center section 4-5 times in the past several years with the same gasket still being used.

That's got enough suck for gear oil? Impressive!

Drill/tap/plug 1/4 npt off to one side (so you don't hit it with a floor jack) of the diff housing. Super cool guy could weld a bung to the outside of housing if you were worried the housings metal wasn't thick enough for tapping.

$0.02.

I like the rtv/oil trick though. Learning something every day.

It's sucked everything for me so far.

Somehow that didn't sound right when I read it.
