does any body have or knows a web site that show pictures and info on how to change the front diff and rear fluid change on a 2004 grizzly. i have never done it and want to learn how instead of paying people to do it ..

on the rear, remove the plastic skid plate, remove the metric allen head drain plug that is on the under side and let it drain. that's the easy part. when refilling the diff be sure to use the EXACT amount of fluid specified! the service manual says to use .28L. it also says to NOT fill the diff to the "check hole". this doesn't seem to make sense, but i have read about guys overfilling and having gear oil come out of the breather, or worse, having the pressure build in the diff to the point where the axle is forced out!
now, why would they give you a hole to check fluid level, and normally, when checking fluid you should have fluid seep out of this hole which would indicate proper level, but then turn around tell you to NOT fill it to that level when replacing the fluid? who knows, ancient japanese secret maybe?
any way the manual says to add exactly .28L regardless of wether it comes out the check hole or not. will you have problems if you fill to the correct level instead of the correct volume? i don't know but i have read of enough people having problems on this and other Grizzly sites, that I'm not taking that chance.
doing the front is essentially the same, even the fluid quantity is the same.
the recomended fluid is SAE 80 API GL4 Hypoid gear oil. i just bought some PJ1 from my dealer to do mine for about $8/quart. 1 quart should be able to fill both diff's several times.

I filled my rear to the check hole, maybe this winter i will let a drop or two out. :S
On the front, BE VERY CAREFUL with the drain plug, there are only 3 small threads going into the aluminum case, common problem to become stripped out (I am one of them.....)

According to Partzilla you fill the rear until it starts to come out the check hole not sure about the front especially on my 2002 because the check hole is higher up on the diff
A little late to the party but here's a vid for a 700 which should be real close to a 660. (5) Yamaha Grizzly 700 Differential Oil Change | Partzilla.com - YouTube
