This has been reviewed here in great detail. Try doing some searches. It listed the tools, and the type of fluid required.

Here's a good thread for you:

Changing Transmission Oil

Very Important:
Make sure you do as Jim says and remove the fill plug BEFORE trying to remove the drain plug. If you don't and the fill plug is stuck, then you are SOL with an empty differential and no way to get the oil back in.
