Default 30,000 Maintenance

I'm due for my 30,000 maint but I don't think the shop is going to cover this stuff on my car, or it will cost extra, or I can do it myself, but there are a couple things I'm not sure about.

Here is the list of what is covered in the 30,000 mile maintenance from the dealership:

Factory Maintenance: Replace engine oil and oil filter (1)
Rotate tires
Replace engine air filter
Replace spark plugs (xA and xB) (3)
Tighten drive shaft bolt
Replace manual transmission oil
Replace auto trans fluid (Type IV)
Replace front differential oil

Replace cabin A/C filter (xA & xB) Additional $49.95
Tighten nuts and bolts on chasis
-Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs (4)
-Inspect drive shaft boots
-Inspect engine coolant
-Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings
-Inspect ball joints and dust covers
-Inspect fuel lines and connections, fuel tank band and fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
-Inspect fuel tank cap gasket
-Inspect radiator core and condenser
-Inspect steering gear box
-Inspect steering linkage and boots
-Inspect all fluid levels
-Adjust tire pressure
-Inspect brake lines and hoses
OK, now I'm sure theyd charge me extra for full synthetic, my air filter is reusable, and they probably don't even cary 2-step colder plugs.
The rest of the stuff, I'm not sure of.

Where is the Drive Shaft Bolt?
How do I replace the Manual Transmition Fluid?
And how do I replace the Front Differential Oil? (or is this only if I have the LSD?)

Wow, on the xB the drive axle nut has a detent in it that lines up with a notch in the shaft, makes it pretty much impossible to loosen but has the downside of destroying the threads if you do ever need to remove it (ask me how I know).
