I just wanted to leave this here for others to find while searching
Sorry about the pictures, they are rotated on my computer but uploaded funny
Be sure to read up on any project you are thinking of doing before you begin and make sure you have all of the needed tools and parts so there is no temptation to cut corners!
I used a breaker bar, pipe wrench, 3/8 ratchet, 1/4 ratchet, t-30 torx, 8mm socket, 1 1/8 socket, random size adapters for sockets, and a torque wrench that will read 15inlb of torque accurately. You should not need the RTV in the picture but if you are paranoid like me it is cheap insurance and the brake parts cleaner is good for cleaning up after.
The link below is installation instructions for a crush sleeve but has torque ratings as well and is worth browsing.

Start by finding your differential drain plug and make sure you can actually break it loose; if you cannot get the plug to move you are done!
