ummm there should be a plug somewhere to empy it, and a plug up higher to fill it up.
u can use something like a soap pump action bottle, fill it up with gearbox oil and pump it in.
I used one of the hand pumps with 2 ends and bobly thing to pump, one goes in gearbox oil and one into gearbox and start pumping.
ur gonna love the smell of the oil, aaaaahhhhh can remeber it now

That oil stinks! When the tac welds from a cover that goes over the universal joint on my tail shaft broke we had to drop the tail shaft out to fix it and it was disgusting.

Ribbo is right, there will be a plug at the bottom of the gearbox where all the oil can drain out. Make sure the car is warm when you do it (cause it runs quicker and wont take so long, obviously with the engine off).
Then put the plug back in and you should find a plug half way up, undo that, it should be a pretty big one. Some top up oil bottles have a neck funnel to make it easy to squirt the oil in. Buy one of those and a 3 or 4 litre bottle, just keep filling up the little one when it runs out.
Fill it up as far as it'll go until it comes streeming out the hole, then do the plug back up. DON'T OVERFILL IT, you'll blow an oil seal if you do. As long as it's on flat ground and you fill it as far as it'll go to that hole, you'll have no worries!
Shouldn't take you longer than 30mins!
Good luck!

**WARNING**
sounds dumb, but undo the filler plug first. the last thing you want to do is undo the drain plug, dump all your old oil, then find you cant get the filler plug undone.
