Easiest way to change front diff fluid and seal?
My front diff is leaking fluid, it has been for a while slowly but now after any short trip it leaves a little puddle after sitting. I suppose the seal is bad and i'm sure it needs more/fluid change. I know it's all smashed up in there against the crossmember/frame, but is there any easy way to get the front cover off and also to fill it. I didn't look hard but i'm sure the fill plug is on the top of the case.

I know how to do it (take off cover, drain fluid, re seal with RTV, refill fluid). I was just wondering if there was any "easy" or easier way because the clearance issues are crazy. I don't plan on dropping the entire axle housing but I need to fix this problem shortly because it leaks more than I like and covers everything under the truck with fluid.
