if i remember rightly the easiest way is to remove the speedo cable as it mates to the top of the gearbox . on the top there is a little finger( held down by a nut) that holds it down. remove that , pop the cable/gearing out top . top up with long tube and a funnel !.

(mtx i think . )gearbox oil from redline racing is what i used...

best of luck.

The wikilec on this is not very big but gives an idea of the problems, similar to what Clemo said.
