Drain it out the bottom, replace bottom plug, refill until it drips out the hole in the back.

make sure top plug comes out before draining, you'll be sorry if it doesn't.

The biggest bolt on the bottom. If you have a lift, it will make things WAY easier.

There is a plug/bolt head that is about half way up the back, just off center of the dome shape for the ring gear, it may even have a tag that says you have an LSD.
