question about my front axle

not to sound ignorent or anything but im not too good with these d44 ttb front axles hopefully someone can help.

i want to change the fluid in it but im not sure how exactly how. i heard from others the easiest way is a suction gun which makes sense. i guess my question is.. how do i refill it? do i put fluid back in the drain plug? wasnt too sure because of how low the drain plug was to the bottom. any advice would help


thanks

There is no drain plug on the TTB 44 or TTB 50. The ONLY way to drain ALL the fluid is separate the case from the drivers axle. (major PITA) or you can get most of it out like you mentioned. By using a suction gun thru the fill hole and sucking it out. Then fill with the correct fluid level to the fill hole.
