2008 Explorer Transmission Fluid

I've just replaced the radiator and would like to replace the transmission fluid that I lost as I was disconnecting the cooler lines (less than 1 pint). I see posts for earlier years that describe a double nut on the bottom of the transmission pan that is used to full the fluid, but I do not have any nuts . . . on the bottom of my pan. Can anyone provide any information on how to add transmission fluid and check the level?

Vehicle: 2008 Explorer, 4.6L Engine, automatic transmission, 2 wheel drive.

Thank you.

Thank you Steve (ill). This is in a tight spot, but I should be able to make it work. I sure hope I don't have to drain the system some day. There isn't a drain plug in the pan.
