I'm kinda confused as to what exactly the issue is? it came out but wont thread back in? you did use the right plug right? it is a hex headed socket, I believe 22mm

Are you talking about the vent on the top of the diff?
The fill plug should be 2/3 of the way up on the back of the pumpkin, looking at the diff from the back of the truck. Fill it till it comes out the hole and your good to go.

yeah the fill plug is the hex one on the back, the drain is the hex one on the bottom of the casing. If you're trying to remove the little rubber thing on the drivers side top thats the diff breather

Do yourself a favor and buy a manual before you break something or check the owner's manual for your vehicle, if you have one. It sounds like you are really lost as to what is what on your differential and you need to know what is what before you start unbolting things.
Top left is the diff breather.
Middle hex head is the fill plug (towards the right side of the diff)
Lower left hex head is the drain plug (bottom on the left side of the diff)
I replaced mine w/ socket head plugs that use a 10mm, much easier to r/r.
Good luck.
