Default refilling differentials and transmissions...pumps?

Does anyone know of a pump suitable for getting fluid into differentials and transmissions?

The fill hole on a Jaguar/Dana differential is pretty hard to get to. The trans is easier to get to, but hard to get the bottle up to run into the fill hole.

Last time I used a long plastic tube and held the oil bottle in the fender well.
Of course, the hose fell out of the diff, then the hose fell off the nipple of the gear oil bottle...total mess.

Am considering trying to use an old Holley electric fuel pump that leaks gasoline, but that shouldn't be an issue with gear oil. Was wondering if something like that Holley blue could move 90 weight or 75/140 gear lube?

Short of going to a shop, how do you refill diffs and trans?

thanks, Pete
