Over the past few days I have been getting some squeaks and thumps out of my drivetrain, they say I need to service the differential.

Below is the process from the manual that shows just how to remove the fluid and does not require you to drop the cover. However, I would always remove the cover just so that you can see what is in the bottom of the housing.
Please let us know if you have questions. Thanks
