300DT rear axle replacement

The big reason the PO had the low price was a bad passenger side axle.
'85 300DT with 193k.

Got the parts due in and next week it should be warm enough to change it out.

Ive done quite a bit of mechanical work and can see from the most excellent writeups here that the rough part of the job will be getting the jack under the pumpkin.

The obvious question is ... what else should I be looking for while Im under there ?

I am thinking of changing out the steel fill plug to brass and will be using 75/90 oil for the refill. Any other suggestions ?
