I got a similar reply from Mike Miller in response to an email. He is really responsive. He estimated it would take an experienced mechanic 5 hours to remove the cover, change the fluid, and replace it. I'll look at it again before I pull out the pump but it sounds like too much trouble. Mike says the differential cover is integrated with the suspension. That probably is consistent with your limited access comment. The lower bolts look temptingly accessable. But it only takes one inaccessable bolt for the job to be impractical.
