Probably old news, but my "newest, got to have tool" is................A Turkey Baster! Swapped out my old open third member yesterday with a new rebuilt 3.50 trac-loc, and due to the exhaust being in the way, could not get the new member filled with the quart sized squeeze bottle. Had to pour the gear oil in a small bucket, siphon it out with the turkey baster and fill it up that way. Worked great, so file it away for future reference.........

I know this is a pretty old post, but a foot or 2 of vacuum line or fuel line can do the trick as well. You just put one end on the tip of the lube bottle and the other in the fill hole.------------------

Best method I've ever used is to fill through an axle tube. Before you stick the second axle, take your floor jack and lift up that side. Pop the top off the lube bottle and squeeze it into the tube. It'll run right down to the pumpkin by itself.Beats trying to get it in through the level plug.....

Best tool found for this job is a pump that is sold and used for filling outdrives with their gear oil. You fill them from the bottom up, and they sell a pump that has a hose with a metal adapter that fits in the outdrive drain hole. That metal adapter fits into most gearbox, and rear end filler holes. Just pump away, and switch bottles as you drain them. The pump does not fit the top of most gear oil bottles, but does not matter. It costs a few bucks.

They sell a tool that's like a big, giant syringe with a hose on the end. The thing is around a foot or so long and about 2-1/2" in diameter.You just stick the hose down into the gear oil and pull the handle back to draw the oil into the unit, then stick the hose into the rear end and push it out. However, I usually just jack the car up by the body so the axle hangs down... and just squirt it in directly out of the bottle. Of course, you can also stick a hose on the end of the bottle. Works great.  Good Luck! ------------------
