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 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!
