In the middle of both you diff covers there is a rubber plug that has DANA written on it pop it off and fill until it leaks out, than push the plug back in. If the plug is dry rotted I advise you go get a new one because it WILL leak.

I have one that includes installing a Powertrax Lockrite at the same time, if you are interested... I'd post it but I am not able to as I am 0.4k within my attachment limit. The file is 800K.
