Since I can't seem to get a hold of the service manual (Helm is sold out):

1) What are the torque ratings for the drain and fill plugs?

2) What size square head socket do I need to undo the drain plug that is at the very bottom of the diff.

Any problems, issues that I should be aware of.

Not sure what the torque ratings are for the plugs, I just snugged them up.
All you need is a 3/8" drive to loosen the drain plug. I used a short 3/8" extenstion as well so I wouldn't give any blood to the war gods when breaking the drain plug loose. :D

24 lb*ft for both the fill and drain plugs.
