What's your method for removing diff oil?

What's the proper way? Do you completely remove and soak the diffs in WD-40? Is there an easier way?

I just set them upside down for a minute, then refill, and if I'm feeling really ambitious, I shoot them out with a little denatured alcohol!

I use the ROCCO method. Then sometimes I may use a dry rag and wipe them out. Unless I am replacing bearings, o-rings and gaskets then I will completly clean everything with cleaning solvent.

I just use denatured alcohol, you can buy this very cheap in gallons from home depot, lowes, etc...............

Or if you have a hobby shop around you with goofy airplane fly guys running it, you can buy methanol by the gallon for very cheap as well, and you can just use a spray bottle and an air compressor and it goes A LOT farther than a can of motor spray, brake kleen or nitro force.

Tanks for the replies guys. I just wanted to make sure i'm doing the right thing when replacing the diff oils with a different viscosity value.
