So, wouldn't you want to remove the differential and rear cover prior to drilling and tapping for a drain plug? Seems to me that if you just drill it in place and tap it that you are taking the risk of potentially hitting the gears with the drill bit, and more than likely are risking leaving metal shavings in the differential from drilling and tapping. Am I missing something here?

It seems like the long term solution would be to remove, drill and tap, thereby making subsequent fluid changes easier.
