   remove passenger wheel, unclip the shit sheild, and there are too bolts, with a square shape tool needed to remove these, obviusly the bottom one is for draining, at the bottom of the box, and the top one is for filling up, it should just drip out the top one when full

   jack it up take the passenger wheel off might have to take the arch liner out and on the back of the gear box will be to plugs will a square hole in them to remove them you will need a 9mm i think sump plug tool. remove the the lower one to drain it. replace plug( you may also want to replace the tiny gasket but not essential) and start filling through the top hole, i found it easiest to use a funnel with a long flexi spout rather than using the one on the bottle. fill it up untill the fluid is jus level with the bottom of the hole replace plug and your done.
   
   hth helps any questions jus ask
