I would like to install an explorer axle in my ranger, and after reading the write up I have a dumb question, should I drain the fluid out before I weld the new spring perches and shock mounts? I wasn't sure if I could weld a short bit at a time and not have to worry about overheating or burning the oil. Should I figure on replacing the oil anyway just so that it is fresh as part of the regular maintenance?
