get a diff gasket and regular gear oil for a driver; no need to reinvent the wheel. take the cover off and let it drain. scrape off the old gasket and install with the new gasket. take the plug out of the side of the diff and fill until the fluid reaches the bottom of the hole

before you even break the nuts loose on the cover. try and take the fill plug out!!!! cause if its stuck or rounded out there is a problem just waiting for you. and i just did it on my 84 GP and i used walmarts super Tech 75W-90 Syn-Blend Gear Oil

Just had he same problem, It didn't even try to turn it out before it slipped. I had to drill a hole in my plug and use a very large easy out. If you have access to a welder you could also weld a short bolt into the plug and turn it out whild still hot.
