Has anyone serviced their Diff before? ... I just want to check it out and it's fluids

I saw a youtube video on backlash in spider gears and contact patch for the main crown wheelAny particular reason you want to do this other than curiosity as this job sucks? I may have missed something as it has been a while but once you get started it is pretty intuitive.
I have a tiny leak and slight overheat (not sure) ...after 48 years of use, I'm unsure of condition.If no noise or leaks it is good to go. If you do pull be sure to change the axle seals and you might do the axle bearings while out also. They are cheap. I broke probably 6 axle bearings on 9" rear they are very weak. The usually split the outer ring.
I could load my Ford van heavy and for sure would split the bearings had an N case 9" in it. Have also had the axles work out of the bearings even with the retainer rings present due to overloading.
