Locate the twelve 10mm long 14mm hex head bolts holding on the backplate of the differential.

Position an oil pan under the differential.

Loosen the bottom 4 bolts first with the 14mm socket wrench. Slowly loosen the rest of the bolts in a random order until oil flows out and enters the drain pan.

Repeat the last step in reverse to re-tighten the bolts on the differential cover while following the star method of tightening bolts. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper torque specifications.

Now the differential is fully sealed and ready for new oil.

Don’t forget the clean the old gasket material off, wipe up any differential fluid residue, clean the mating surface with brake cleaner, and add a new gasket maker material.
This guide really left out some very important steps. And don’t reuse your diff fluid people.
No mention of anti-slip additive which is not optional.
