Where do I fill my axle with grease?

I have looked everywhere on my axle for a place to put the grease into. The only thing I have found is a little skinny **** that can twist, but does not come off. Is this it? It sounds like I need to grease my axle, but I can't find the place! Please help!

If you have a ten-bolt, there is a filler plug on the upper passenger side of the differential housing; use a 3/8 drive ratchet to remove the plug. Fill it untill the fluid just start to run out the hole.

Someone better say grease is not what you use. You want to use a proper gear lube. Course it could work but not sure how it would work out. Would most likely take a large coffee can full of grease to fill it.

I second that motion, but I'm saying definetly don't use grease - that's just slang for gear lube (oil or some call it fluid) for the rear end gears.

That plug is gonna be located on the side, just as Petes 84Z28 said, and won't be in the cover at the rear of the differential if it's all stock.

Just wondering, why do you say it "sounds like it needs grease"??
