You could remove the six bolts on your Armstrong cover and top it off from 
there.. that's most likely what the last person did.
But usually with side fillers like that you fill till it drips then plug.
There are no tricks involved unless you have shock off the car. One is 
pumping the lever a few times while holding shock level to rid air bubbles 
before 
re-installation.

What's the at-home procedure for checking the fluid level in lever shocks?  I 
removed a wheel tonight, unscrewed the fill bolt, and some fluid shot out of 
the hole.  Is there a trick to manipulating the lever to fill and seal the 
shock?
