Do you use the drain plug or pull the cover and is there any concern of leaving fluid in axles- I was told I over filled one once but never knew what I did, used 2 quarts, so I assumed I left fluid in.

Thanks,
Andy
 
Unless I want to inspect or clean out the diff, I use the plugs.

Fill it till it comes out the fill hole.

If your pinion is rotated up, you may need to jack the rear up or park the back end on an incline to get the full amount in.
