Subject: maintenance items: where to buy?

     I have a couple of questions.

     

     1. How do I fill the differential fluid? Do I need some kind of hand   

                pump, if so, where can I get one?

     2. For bleeding brake lines: Do auto parts shops carry that "Miti-Vac" 

                I believe it is called to bleed brake lines or do I have to 

                mail-order for it? What kind of suction pump do you use to  

                remove the brake fluid from the reservoir and where can I   

                get one?

     3. Spark plug and wire replacement: I read on the Magnacor website     

                that you should use silicon grease of the wire fittings to  

                the plugs, is this what others are doing? Is this silicon   

                grease the same as the anti-seize compound used on the plug 

                threads? Should all auto parts stores carry this silicon    

                grease / anti-seize compound?

     

     Thanks as always,
