differential drain/fill

I replaced rear axle seals on my '95 F-250. When I went to fill the differential I can find no evidence of a drain/fill plug. I removed the cover and tried to see any area that could contain such a plug - no help. What do I do to fill and later check the rear end fluid? Thanks

To drain you must remove the diff cover. To fill, there is a 3/8" ratchet drive nut (square) on the front side of the differential (towards the front of the truck) near the pinion where the driveshaft comes into the diff, can't miss it.
