The diff fluid? I didn't. Just make sure to re-grease the interior splines generously before re-installing the new axle. No other work with fluids was required.
Took a few gentle taps at the hub end of the axle with a 4lb hammer to get the whole axle it to seat past the interior circlamp. Thanks to Scotty Kilmer for that tip (2:10 ish). Disregard much of the rest of the vid as it shows a different car and different axle.
