I know the general rule is to make sure you can open the fill plug prior to opening the drain plug, and her rear diff plugs looked awfully rusty at 74k. I think these things are 100k items, not positive. 90k is the rear diff on the LS430...oil is cheap...
Those plugs are soft as anything. When I changed the diff. oil, at around 100k miles, I had to get a new set because the Lexus tech stripped them when they did them at 40k miles. I used a power chisel to remove them. Just FYI that you may want to check them before you unscrew them.
