Nice axle setup on your Jeep, I have the same axles with detroits and 37" MTRs.
Yeah that's the traditional way to drain the 9" which is a big pain. I tried putting a small hose down the fill flug hole and draining it that way, but didn't come all the close to totally draining it. I'm planning on installing a drain plug low on the 9" housing with a countersunk allen head plug of some sort. This will no doubt making changing the oil very easy and it will happen a lot more often than the traditional draining method.

True, but it's so much easier/faster to just pull out a drain plug (check the fluid) and refill.

I remember hearing that, nice and easy, but slow..just pull the bolt and let it drain overnight.

I added a drain to my Moser 9" that is in my 98 Formula WS6.
I run non-synthetic 185 the heavy stuff so it takes the heat.

You could pull one shaft, then lower that same side of the axle and let the fluid drain out. It sounds pretty redneck but it saves you from having to pull the 3rd.
