Default diff fluid change

I just crossed the 1k break-in for my new gears and wanted to swap the fluid for le607. Is anyone available this weekend or soon to help me or just give guidance? I don't mind going to a shop and paying a few bux to swap the fluid out of convenience as well. I live by andrews afb in md

Go to the Under The Hood Section of the forum, then in the sticky portion, you will find Do it yourself threads.

The hardest part the first time you do it is finding a 23mm wrench for the fill plug.

i'm planning on doing mine this weekend as well, I have done it before by just squeezing the bottle with a small hose on the tip that goes into the diff, but that really sucked and took forever and i won't do that again. I bought a pump this time, its actually really easy just take off the drain plug and drain it then replace, then fill it though the fill plug.
