| Getting it into the diff is somewhat tricky and can end up being rather messy if you just try to man-handle the bottle and squeeze it with everything you have. That 75W-90 lube is like honey and trying to squeeze it out will be about as productive as squeezing milk from a bull. I built a pump from an old 350-chevy engine's oil pump that I modified with some 3/8" hosebarbs and some hose - used a drill to turn the shaft and it comfortably cranks out a quart of fluid in about 20 seconds; could probably go faster, but holding the pump and drill at the torque required to turn the oil pump faster makes it no more fruitful than the toothpaste tube squeeze. I'm not sure if you have an old oil pump to do something like this, probably one in a thousand chance, so the other best solution would be to go to a hardware store and find one of the fluid pumps that are designed to connect to a drill and have the garden hose ports - get a small section of garden hose with the ends on it, cut two tubes at about 2' long, insert the pickup tube into the container and the other into the fill port and drill away. This particular pump is made from black plastic and is about 2" round X 1" tall at the pump body and has a 1/4" driveshaft that the drill chuck connects to. I think I recall it being in one of the $2 bins at the checkout area an automotive parts store. Just save yourself the frustration of trying to squeeze it out of the bottles directly (or with a small intermediary hose) into the diff - talk about forearm PUMP! :)
