You will need some permatex to seal the cover. Make sure both surfaces are good and clean. Apply a 1/4" bead of sealant on cover and let sit for about 5-7 minutes before reattaching cover to differential housing.
Yes the cover with all the bolts facing reawards is the cover to remove.
Nothing other than the wheel/tire needs to be removed on the axle hub end.
It would'nt hurt to replace the axle seals either if there is any signof oil around the wheel hub end.

DO NOT INSTALL SEALANT!!!!!!!!!
There is a gasket for that application, use it!
