I guess i never really put alot of thought into filling them. A old piece of hose around the plastic nozzle and alot of paitence has always been my protocol. Although rear ends are one thing ive rarely ever had to screw with. I only had one that gave me constant issues and that was my 83 F150 that had an 8.8. I think it had a 9 from the factory as it had 4.10s but the door tag said it was a 3.08. 3.08s with a 300 and a T18 4 speed woulda been much nicer to cruise in....that truck got about 8mpg and topped out just shy of 70.I saw that on “junkyard wars” years ago. I just use a small hand pump, can find them with boating supplies (for filling outboard gearcases). If theres enough clearance you could also pull the abs sensor out of the top of the differential. (if set up that way). I bought a summit 8.8 girdle cover years ago for my 93 that has drain/fill plugs, still have it, put original cover back on before I sold that truck.
Sumbitch would pull a house over though.
