Rear diff questions

Hello all,
I need to change the rear diff fluid in my truck (75K mi) and have two questions:
is a gasket required, or is an RTV bead ok, and
best way to lean the axle housing surface.
thanks
Steve

Save yourself a step or two and a potential leak.

Clean the outside of the housing? Putty knife, rags and solvent, pressure washer. Serving suggestion!

Think I could work that down to the bottom of the pumpkin?

2015 F 250? It has a rear cover with a fill plug, right? Should be able to get the suction tube down to the bottom.

Make sure it's warmed up on a warm day.
