Differential Oil Change

Tried to change the oil in the gearbox but there is no clearance to get a socket and wrench onto the 17mm fill plug and my spanner started rounding off the corners of the hex bolt. So I decided to lower the gearbox a little but got stuck with one of the transmission cross member nuts. Which just kept spinning without coming out. I'll need to cut it out so I gave up for the day and decided I'd do something easier like change the oil in the diff.

A little more than 1 quart of black goo came out and a little under 2 quarts of fresh Valvoline 80w90 gear oil went in. First time I've seen a magnetic drain plug for a differential.
