2 plugs in the diff, top one is fill one one on the bottom is drain
jack car up
remove drain one and fill one in that order allow oil to drain out.
replace drain plug and open bottle of fresh oil which should have a 4" extendable filler kind of nozzle hold it upside down and and squeeze contents into diff. It may take more than 1 bottle depends on the car. Once the level has filled up till it's coming out the filler hole your done, replace filler plug.
It is pretty obvious when you look at it.

I would take the filler plug off first then the drain plug.
Because if you drain it and then find you cannot shift the filler plug which happens you have no way of refilling it.

I use the big syringe and tube method, there's no room to swing a bottle and nozzle upside down by the diff. See if the local chemist has any.
