Differential Gasket/Fluid

[mayagman]

Hey guys, another quick one.
I'm getting ready for a roadtrip in case you couldnt tell >.>
I'm getting ready to do my diff fluid changeout. I want to take off the back diff cap, drain the fluid, clean it out real nice, and replace the diff gasket, as it appears to be moist down there.
3 questions

1) Is this an easy DIY job? It would seem like it.

2) What fluid and how much do you reccomend, fill to the top plug like it says?

3) Where can I find the diff gasket kit?

Oh also, Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on bleeding/filling the brakes? I know it can be a tricky process and I'm not sure if our cars have the wierd multi-channel brake systems.

Thanks!

Is this it?

Edit: now that I read that, it looks like the gaskets that seal the half shafts.. I'm pretty sure its leaking from the main bolt-on cover thing. The large plate that is used to access the diff case

its not a DIY thing(just replacing the fluid is). the diff does not have a gasket on the back plate, just sealant. the gear fluid should be 75-90 and it would also be good if its synthetic. My choice of fluid would be Redline 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Fluid. brake bleeding is not difficult at all, but you need a second person to help you out. you start off with the front axle, with the wheel further away from the master cylinder. first, make sure the fluid reservoir is full(flush with the filler neck). have someone pump the brake pedal fully five times, have him hold it in pressed position, and you open up the bleed screw and look for the bubbles squirting out of it. also, cover the bleed screw with a rag, but open just enough to see whats going on. do this until only fluid squirts out of the bleed screw. have the helper pump the brakes again to restore pressure in the system. check the fluid level, top off alot of fluid got sucked into the system. now move on to the next wheel. once you finish the front axle, repeat the same procedure for the rear wheel, starting with the one further away from the master cylinder.
let me know if you need any assistance.
