Been busy getting ready for winter. Finished painting the house today, closed the pool yesterday and cleaned up 13 bags of leaves and plants that I had to cut down. Oh, and I cleaned my garage. Now I am ready, and I got some good news, maybe I will be able to borrow a rotisserie! That will be a Godsend.

Man! A rotisserie would definitely be cool! So nice to work on various parts of the body without being a contortionist!

If I get a rotisserie, do I need to drain all of the brake fluid and remove the rear end?

Good lesson in gravity right there!
Some things that are filled while upright have a tendency to leak out when turned upside-down.
A good test would be with a bucket of water over your head.

Actually I was hoping that the rubber seal on the batter fluid tank would keep it in. Probably high hopes. And if I am not mistaken, the rear end is vented, or is it not? If I turn the car upside down the fluid will leak out of it? If I do end up getting the rotisserie I will probably drop the rear end anyways just so I can work on the underside a bit easier, plus I want a reason to find a posi someplace. Missed one today, 12 bolt 4.10 for $200.
