I replaced the oil in the final drives on my D-17 a few years ago. Dropped the pans and made new gaskets. I did have the wheels moved out. I chose to fill the pans before installing them but you could fill thru the fill plug as well.  Not a big job.

I changed mine 2 years ago, according to the smell it was the original oil. Really stunk. New gaskets and put a clear hose attached to the oil bottle and refilled through the filler hole until it was to that level.

I did what Bryan did on my WD a few years back. Just make sure if you prefill the pan that you don't overdo it because the bull gear displaces a lot of oil in that pan as you put the pan back into place!

I put the recommended 1-1/4 Qts in each side before installing the pans.

You have a far steadier hand than I sir!  I would wind up wearing half of it.

I have always put the grease in the pan first also. don't think I've even spilled one, somehow.
