I've a funnel with a long snout on it and a tappering hole at the end of the snout that I use to get liquids into tough spots. Didn't make it. Got it somewhere but do not recall where.
You could Goop a hose to the end of a regular funnel and get it done that way. Just let the Goop sit overnight.

I use an empty gear oil bottle (because I use UDT in my tractors front axle) with pointed spout and just squeeze it into the filler holes.

Easiest way to fill it is "patience" I refilled mine with thicket gear oil and talk about sloooooow.

I have a steel flex spout funnel. The flex spout is about 12" long and ends with a small tip. I take VERY GOOD care of this funnel. Never been able to find anything/anywhere exactly like it. AND I have no idea where I got it.

Amsoil packages gear oil and trans fluid in optional "bags" that works great. So much easier to fill rear ends, front ends and transfer cases without making a mess. I think Valvoline has taken their idea as well.
2nd option is the little cheap plastic pumps that attach to a quart bottle. The work good until either the hose comes off or the suction tube.

Sometimes you just have to be creative. When I was a kid I needed to fill the transmission in my 1948 Dodge I could not get to the fill point with a funnel. I ended up using one of my mom's rubber gloves from under the sink, cutting the end of a finger, filled the glove with 90Wt, put the finger in the hole and squeezed the gear lube in.
