The hole is a 9/16 allen wrench.If you cannot find one just use a 9/16 bolt 3" to 4" long and use two nuts jammed together at the end of the bolt then peen the end of the bolt so they will not turn off. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Is there a good way to get the fluid in there, I bought 3 quarts of the 90w140 oil and some gear additive, and put a tube into the hole on the side which is the size of the opening in the end of the bottle...my hands have never hurt so much after so much squeezing....its some thick fluid...

It takes about 2.5 quarts if I'm right...

Mine was not a 9/16ths it was smaller. Just used a bolt laying around and put the vise grips on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Bos, just lower the rear all the way and you can just squeeze it straight out the bottle.

I ran a long hose connected to a big funnel,put oil in hot water until warm and dumped it into funnel and did something else until funnel emty then repeated,works great.
