The drain and fill plugs on my 84 are 14mm hex. I got the 14mm from Grainger.

I've done this job twice.................replace both axles at the same time, unless money is extremely tight and you don't mind doing it twice. :-(

It only takes another 25 minutes to do the other axle once everything is apart. I don't like this job, although I'm getting pretty good at it.
