Get a pump that will let you pump from the bottle into the diff. Makes it bearable, at least.

Don't forget to add some friction additive if your rear has a limited slip (posi) unit.
I copied/pasted this info from the sticky at the top. Get it from a GM dealer.

Limited-Slip Axle Lubricant Additive (4oz needed for full fill) = 1052358

Edit:
It appears you may not need it if you have the TORSEN equipped rear.
