Went to my drill and tap chart.
Drilled a hole in the bottom of the diff housing the same size as needed to tap hole to a 1/8 pipe threads.
Let the oil push the filings out during the drain.
Tap the hole to 1/8 pipe thread.
Install 1/8 pipe plug

The housing is aluminum.
it was very easy to tap.
You would have to look around for a 1/8 pipe plug with a magnet attached.
I just used what I had on hand
Epoxy one on?
Drill out the pipe plug a bit and then epoxy?
