if i am thinking of the right axle you have to unbolt the whole center section. it is easier if you use something that you can suck the fluid out of the fill pulg.

The fill plug is on the front.

I made a drain plug with a drill then I welded a piece of 1/2 pipe over the hole and put a plug in it.
