there is another way....
I take my gear oil pump and stick the siphon tube into my diff and pump out the old goo, add a 1/2 quart of new stuff, pump it out, then do the fill procedure. That way you don't have to pop the cover.
Truth be told, popping the cover is a really good idea anyway, you should be checking the general status of things while you're in there. Use black RTV to reseal the cover.
From 2 years as a lube tech, very very few american cars with RWD have drain plugs on the differential pumpkins. Most imports do but they're a PITA sometimes (toyota).
