Tow it up with another vehicle or a winch if you have one. I have had to bring other vehicles into the garage using one as an anchor and then a come along for getting it all the way in, it is some work but it needs to be done.

Transmission and transfer case fluid is Dexron III ATF. 80-90W Synthetic gear oil works great for the differentials. I haven't opened up the transfer case drain or fill plugs, but I know just the end of a 1/2inch socket wrench with nothing attacked to it works fine for getting the differential fill/drain plugs out.

okay well i got the right axle out. i loosened the brake line screw to the caliper, loosened the brake line bracket on the hub, took out the sensor, then took the rest of the hub screws off. hub and axle just slid right out no problem
