R/S , aft , near the bottom .

The service port is large enough to suck it out with a tube .

I put a small but powerfull magnet on the drain plug and drive around about 20 mins or so prior to draining .

Well, did mine today and it was very easy. Only thing is, on my 2014 2wd it was not a 9/16" hex...a bit smaller. I used a 1/2" one (thankfully I bought a set with 3 different ones), and it was too small, but worked...barely. Seems like 14mm would do the trick, since it's a little smaller than 9/16" and the 9/16" one I had just barely would not work. That fluid is some stinky stuff too...left it a bit below the service hole, think it could have used a couple more pumps, but I'm not sweating it since it seems like a used damn near 2.5qts on it.

I left a strong neodymium magnet on the drain bolt.

I had to go buy a 14mm hex...It was a perfect fit.

I am curious if anyone has removed the stock diff cover and found a magnet attached? My 01 F250 stock cover had a 2" dia magnet already in service from the factory...
