SOURCE: how to replace rear axle resevoir gasket and service rear axle
Most Fords do not have a drain plug in the bottom of the rear. Look around, you might get lucky!! If it does, a 1/2 inch breaker bar lug will fit into the plug. Drain the fluid out, preferrable over night. Put the plug back in and take the plug out of the cover. That is your level/fill plug. Fill the box with gear oil until it reaches the bottom of the plug hole. Install the plug and your done. If there is no drain plug in the bottom, it get's a little messy. Take out all the bolts holding the cover on and gently pry the cover off. Drain out all the fluid and put the cover on with a new gasket. Fill to the level/plug hole. This fluid is the worse smelling you have in a vehicle. Hope this helps.
