Thank you! I found it on the right side of the differential, but your are right: is very hard to open, is not until now. I press with my small hydraulic-Jack to the ratchet wrench, but nothing happens ...

... never give up: with a little bit of oil and some 'lovely' blows from a hammer the screw is now open!

Yeah, those filler plugs can be a real pain to remove. When you do succeed in removing the plug you can apply a compound that will resist the plugs natural tendancy to wield it self to the diff. There are several brands, i use permatex anti seize, on any fastner thats exposed to heat or corrosion. It makes removal a lot easier.
