HELP!! Need to replace a freeze plug!

It's the center freeze plug on the driver's side. Can't access it it from below because the differential is in the way. Any ideas how to get to it and what I have to remove and replace in the way? Thanks!!!

Vehicle is a 1996 Explorer, has 5.0 V8 and automatic transmission.

Either drop the diff or pull the exhaust manifold.
