i thought the earlier pic of the two holes on either side were yours, that is jacked up!

some , like yours, 3rd members don't have a fill plug. in your case use the bolt/stud on the drivers side, which is a slight bit lower than the 3 o'clock position as your fill hole, fill the lube up to the bottom of the hole and call it done.
the easiest way is with a suction gun, it will pull fluid out or push fluid in.
they have a little hose end that will fit into the hole when you pull the stud out

Tom my apologies if I offended you. Well now I have seen one. I'm not sure what I would do. I would be tempted to pull the axles, jerk the third member out, and have it drilled and tapped. Quite a bit of work, but it would be fixed forever. Not sure it is worth it.
