differential fluid pump

[url]http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3878[/url]

I'm considering this pump for changing the differential fluid of my 97
Camry. Does anyone have any better ideas? Last time I changed the
fluid it was a mess trying to get the fluid into the differential using
gravity feed from above.

I have no experience with that particular pump, but in general, a pump makes
the job a lot neater and faster.

Tried it and thrown it away, it was still a mess.
The cylinder end caps leaked. May be some big hose clamps there would have
helped.
There are many better solutions, both manual and electric pumps made for
such purposes,
My best one is a small impeller pump for electric drill, but I also have a
steel piston handpump which is normal workshop equipment. Be aware that not
all plastic or rubber can endure oil.
With the right tubes, such a pump also can siphon engine oil through the
dipstick hole, but then you will not get all the deposits out....
