Suction pump for differential fluid change

I'm about to change out my differential fluid, my haynes manual (yes I know it sux0rz) says you can use a suction pump to get the fluid out rather than taking the whole cover off... does anyone have/use one of these or know where I can get one? How much are they about?

Also, is the best place to get the limited slip additive just at a dealer?

Thanks

Most auto store carry them for about $10-15 and some generic limited slip fluid. The suction pumps will make the job a little easier and a little less messy. (I still make a big mess

Eh...I'm going to recommend against generic limited slip additive. Use the GM stuff. That's what all of the shops around my area recommend, including the one that does the transmission/rear work for mine.
