No need to replace fluid. Usually the cover seal stays intact during the process and you don't actually open the pumpkin.
Might not be a bad idea to go ahead and re-seal the cover since they are prone to leak and BTW mine is leaking :bored:
I usually don't do things half-ass, but I'll admit to (twice) having done a reseal from the outside only
it's held for 3 years and a lot of abuse
when I did the brace, I put RTV under the bolt heads and then I smeared sealer over the joint (used brake cleaner first)
I had to redo it last year because it started dripping
this year, the diff gets pulled...

Try and get a C-clamp on that side of the diff. if you can, mine bubbled for a little bit which made me work faster.
I was looking at the write up on this the other night.. I would like to tray and tackle this myself come next year.

FYI Mine was leaking about a dime size spot if it sat for a week. I took it in under warranty a month ago and had it fixed. I darn near considered asking them if they would install a brace at the same time but didn't. *shrugs*
