How to fill differential fluid && Solara strut bar on Camry

I am about to change the transmisssion fluid and differential fluid on my 2000 Camry 4cylinder automatic. I plan to drain the fluid and drop the pan, and replace the gasket on there. I will also replace the differential fluid. However, the fill hole is on the back of the differential facing the rear. How do I fill this after I drain it? Do I get a piece of hose and a funnel and fill it from the top? Or is there another way. I have 5 qt of Dex III fluid, will this suffice for what I plan to do?

Will 2001 Solara V6 TRD Strut bar fit on my 2000 Camry 4 banger?
I found this one for $100 shipped. Is this a good price? Or will those $5 ebay ones be the same? Though I guess I get what I pay for.

Yup, use a piece of clear hose and a funnel.

Make sure the car is level when you fill the differential, otherwise it won't fill completely.

Might want to pick up another 1 - 2 quarts.

The differential holds about 1 1/2 quarts. And the tranny holds 3 - 4 quarts (drain and fill).

Yes.
