I did this just a couple days ago. For me, the fill and drain bolts were no problem, but a friend of mine is doing the same job and has decided to get some EZ-outs and a replacement bolt before he tackles it. Make that judgment call for yourself.

Make sure you have 2 quarts and that your friends haven't stolen one out of your workshop (happened to me!). I used the 3/8" clear hose I found at Autozone, about 4 feet long, with some Valvoline synthetic blend oil. I snaked it up through the wheel well and held the bottle upside-down and squeezed it gently.

CAUTION! If you squeeze it too hard, the hose will pop off the tip! Your pants/shoes/driveway will be VERY stinky for days!

Takes a long time for the honey-thick oil to drip in there. You will see it start to leak out the fill hole when you have maybe 1.25 quarts in there.
