The 17mm Allen plug is located on the helper side( right) up from the CV joint
The best lub is Castrol Sythec diff oil: 75W90
Remove all the oil left;plug is under the diff. Be careful, its hard, use heat the plug couple of hammer tock then unbolt it with a good 17mm Allen box.

Hi,
My '88 5KCSTQ has developed a howling that shifts around in
frequency and rhythm that sounds like a dry rear differential. I tried to
find a filler plug on the housing but it is completely obstructed on both
sides. There are 2 plugs in bottom of housing.
Is there a filler plug somewhere on side? Where? What type/weight
gear lube is appropriate? Thanks for help and advice.
