LSXcalade Goes Front Wheel Drive at Street Car Takeover Indianapolis

What happens here

At 'Killer Performance,' the vehicle is securely lifted onto jack stands to provide access to the underside. The presenter begins the repair by draining the differential fluid, which starts leaking as the pinion yoke is removed. He states the goal is to quickly remove the old yoke and install the new one to minimize fluid loss.
