You won’t have to drain it and it should not run out the sides if it was properly filled to begin with.

I jack each side up a bit higher than level doing one at a time just to make sure & on a side note the hypodermic needle attachment on your grease gun works good for greaseing the new (or old) bearings. I would do new seals at the same time. EDIT & I do the dr side first then the pass side with the adjuster & get ~.010" end play.

those big seals are technickly called an inner seal & the thin ones in the 5 hole bolt on flanges are the outer ones but most people dont service the thin outer ones & just refer to the big ones (that are driven in) as the outers cuz they are pretty much on the outer end of the housing.

I've had to use the Green bearings(from Dr Diff) to put a 35 spline axle in a 8 3/4 housing along with the Dana 60 inner axle seal with good results

Side question, (and perhaps I've missed it posted elsewhere) but, does anyone have a tuitorial or Youtube link on how to overhaul and diagnose an 8.75? I think mine needs axle bearings but have no idea. Could be the carrier bearings?
I know for some of You this is something you can do in your sleep, but rear differentials are really out of my comfort zone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
