Rear axle?

The fill plug is on the front side of the axle, on the differential housing, on the passenger's side. It's a flush mount small circular plug with a square drive hole in it.

thanks, i'll give it a look tomorrow. how many different size seals are there for the blazer, i got the most popular one at the supply store and its to big. the only other 1 they have listed is bigger again. if i had the size i might be able to get 1 crossreference.

Scott,

I added fluid to mine today. Wolfs right. Its on the passenger side. One problem I found is that theres a lot of dirt up there so grab a flat head screw driver and just start cleaning off the upper half of the "pumkin". Its a 3/8 drive. Use a 3/8 drive and extension and with both hands it loosen up nicely
