diff oil change
1998 Disco 167k miles
I've drained both front and rear differentials.
2 easy questions
1. Rave calls for 3.6 pints front and rear ( British 20 oz. pint I presume)
Should I just keep adding until I reach the fill hole?
2. I was going to add some 1/2' or 3/8" hose to the nipple on the quart of gear oil so I can get r' in there.
Any other brighter ideas??

fill to the fill hole and you can get a small pump for gear oil at most auto stores

RE: diff oil change
I just jammed the spout of the container into the hole and squeezed until nothing more came out. Then I put the second one in and squeezed.... when I couldn't get any more out, I filled up the second container with the residual from the first and squeezed again. Worked well... zero mess....
