How full do I fill them? My disco only has one plug on the side of the ball. Im guessing this is the fill plug. I repacked the bearings and drained the old fluid by the bottom bolt behind the rotor. Should I fill it up to the middle bolt? Also can I use 85W145 gear oil or do I need the 90W oil?

Turn the wheel away from the vehicle to expose the open hole to fill-it's much easier this way.

Fill to just below the centerline of the axle.

No problem with the 85 W 145, remember, Rover now says to use a much higer viscosity grease.
