i think you can get to it from underneath but i never managed to get my diff bolt off as it had seized up i spent a month trying but and as it seems like the diff is an alloy i didn't want to force it to much

You can just get at it from the drivers side with the wheel off, not easy though, I had to use a length of hose pipe to get the oil in and had to use a small torque wrench to tightened up to the right torque afterwards.
Juts one of those simple, but awkward jobs
