Also you are correct on the 8mm allen/hex. I used a study 1/4 drive one, but for the top side (fill) plug I had to use one of the L-shaped allen's bc there was not enough clearance between the trans and tunnel for my 1/4 ratchet. SO have some tools on hand.

Also for the Diff... you will need a 14mm hex and a fluid evacuator to suck out the old gear fluid.
I'll add that I was able to find L shaped allen/hex at Harbor Freight with a handle for added torque (haven't opened yet), and same for the fluid evacuator, which was on sale for $5 and worked fantastically on brake fluid today.
