There is a plug that fits a 3/8s in ratchet extention. Depending on how long ago it was last used, it may be concealed by grease and dirt.

on the drivers side front (toward the front of the car) is a plug. It accepts a 3/8" ratchet head to get it out.

Good luck.

It's kinda messy if you are just squirting it in directly from the bottle. But you can get it in there without too much spilling.

Use a pump, you can pick one up at your local parts store for under $5

You can always fill through the axle vent on the passenger side of the axle, easy access!

Using the spouts that come on gear lube bottles makes a mess and takes for ever, at least it does for me. Auto parts stores usually carry a different spout with a twist on/off and plastic tube attached. Don't use the tube, just the spout. I can empty a bottle in 10 seconds with this, and no drips since I can turn off the flow. Just thought I'd share.

I`ve always used a suction gun to suck out the old oil and inject the fresh oil when changing the rear diff oil through the fill plug hole.

I have clear tubing which I run out over the driver rear tire. I attach a funnel and hang the funnel from the GDO rafters and pour away.

Use a pump that screws onto the bottle.

A little off topic... I work in a shop and have to fill transfer cases/standard trannys/auto trannys w/o dipsticks with atf quite often.

I have an old 1 gallon pump up sprayer. Like the ones for spraying insecticide. It actually was free with a gallon of Castrol Super Clean. Pumps 3 quarts of atf in 30 seconds. Just don't fill to the top or you have to pump more air into it before running dry.

Thats how I do my Tranny, I run the hose up into the engine compartment and fill away!
