rear differential fluid change

Seems there is not much room under there to get the bottle of fluid in the right position to pour the fluid in.I guess I need a 3/4 ratchet end to get the drain plug out and a 1/4 for the fill?Any tricks or other goodies I need beside the oil and additive on this procedure would be appreciated.thanks

a couple of guys I work with hated that job because they could not get the fluid in easily enough... finally one of them bought a little pump somewhere that was designed for that type of fluid.

I have not seen it so I can not speak to how well they work, however, here is the URL to something like it:

Just about any Auto Parts Store will have the pump you are looking for.
