My 99 XLT takes a 3/8th's drive ratchet - no socket, just the square ratchet end. There should be two plugs - the lower one drains and you fill into the upper one. Make sure you can get the fill plug off before you remove the drain. If you can't fill, you don't want to have drained anything. I think you're aware of that, I'll restate for those less informed. I've used a squeeze bottle with a short piece of hose attached to fill into the upper plug. For two quarts+ I can't see buying a pump unless you have something laying around. If you're somewhat creative you'll figure out a cheap way of overcoming gravity. You'll see once you locate the transfer case.
