hmm which ones have crush washers on them.... that would be telltale sign they are meant to be removed/serviced. #2 is a plug removed to access the upper case snap ring, and #3 I believe allows you to gain access to another snap ring or detent ball, I can't remember, but for sure #1 is the fill plug its always behind the axle. It appears you have a bad axle seal as well, unless you already repaired that.

#1 is the fill. And you had the drain labeled correctly. I think it is 1.9 qts of fluid. The other 2 plugs you had labeled are bolts that cover snap rings that hold the gear shafts I believe.

That's HT members working hard for you. You're better of referring to a $14 manual from autozone or pepboy. djsire is correct, bolt #1 is the filler bolt.
