Filling 87 5 speed with gear lube

I see the drain plug and fill plug but the fill plug is out of reach for a bottle of lube and i don't have the right tool to get it off. any tips?

if its a BA 10 the right tool is a square key. The correct size is 8mm. I used a piece of 5/16th stock and filled it down until it fit. Then I bent it in a 90 degree angle to make a key tool out of it. Works good.

 

I filled mine using a suction gun.

BA10 i grinded down a 3/8th inch 3" ratchet extension to the right size, put it on a wrench works great.

 

fill using a oil can from auto parts store just can, flexy metal tube with tip, and pump lever. cost me like 10 bucks i think
