I have done it before by just squeezing the bottle with a small hose on the tip that goes into the diff, but that really sucked and took forever and i won't do that again.
You cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle to let air in.

I've tried that before, Joe. It didn't work too well for me- even after microwaving the fluid. I use a longer hose and have the Mrs. hold it above the wheelwell and squeeze.

i have the wrench and the socket. and I just squeezed the bottle attached to a plastic tube. You only put like 1/2 a bottle into there anyway so u don't need to sqeeze that much. i tried putting more in there and it all just came out the fill hole so I knew i put in enough.

My arm was tired from squeezing the bottle so much... that sucked.

Next time, I'll definitely buy a pump. I would advise anyone that plans to do this to buy the pump before hand.

Did any of you leave the bottle in the sun or use the microwave to heat the fluid up? If you do, it's not hard at all.
