You need a 24mm socket or open ended wrench. Remove the filler bolt BEFORE the drain bolt. This is just to make sure you will be able to add the new fluid after you drain the old stuff. I use Motul 90pa with my Kaaz 2-way. If you have an OEM LSD or open diff you should use 80-90W.

Shavings/Filings are normal so dont panic.
24mm Socket, open top, then open bottom to drain oil, secure bottom & pump in the new diffoil until it starts to overflow. Then secure that particular hole with the 24mm.
I think it takes just over 1ltr
