Default Stupid question
I have the stock rear cover off, getting ready to put it together with new gasket and RTV but I can't find the fluid fill hole? Am I blind? Please help.

Thanks.

Ugh, I was afraid of that. How do you get the oil in there and what tip do I need to crack the plug open??

all you need to take the plug off is a 1/2'' socket wrench without a socket on it, and the best way to get your fluid in there is to run out to an auto parts store and buy a lil hand pump with a hose attached that will screw into the gear oil bottle

Thanks for replies. I got the 3/8 ratchet figured out once I got back under there.
