Ford 7610 Axle

[Rover7781]

Hi All,
I've a 7610 4wd that needs a bit of a tidy up. The front axle, a Zf unit, hasn't had an oil change in about 7 years. I'm planning to do it myself. Does anyone know is it 2 drain plugs and 1 filler plug on the rear side of the axle unit. Also, do I need to leave the oil settle for a while when refilling and before closing the filler plug so there's no trapped air ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

I always apply the logic to any axle with three plugs, bottom drain, top filler, middle level, best drain when warm, when filling just make sure tractor is level,you should not need to let it settle, if you move tractor and return it where it was just re-check but there should not be very much difference in oil level,have you got the early or later axle,apl325 or different the early one is a bit weak..........
