I'm planning to rip out the gear stick and fill till it runs out the hole on the side...? Then do the same thing for the transfer case.

Anyone know if this will work??

There should be two notiable drain and fill heagonal nuts on the gerabox that are bigger in size than most bolts around that area
The drain is on the obttom centre of my hilux and the fill is on the side, both are about half way up on mine...

You say "Fluid" is it an auto or manual

Auto is down the dipstick tube slowly slowly check so you don't overfill as per dipstick etc and manual is as per previous posts through the big hex nut on the side fill it until it runs down your arm
