Gear oil shouldn't come out as it should be at or below the drain plug level. I really liked using the ball joint separator that I borrowed when I did my D60. Tighten it up with an impact, give th knucle a whack with the hammer and voila... it's out. I think you have a D44 in that though. Pretty easy job though.
