'99 chevy blazer 4x4

A few questions regarding rear axle
1. other then vent line, where to put oil in to differential?

2. can a differential bearing be replaced without having to take entire assembly out?

I was going to replace wheel bearing and seal after having somebody else re-seal the differential cover;
when i got the cover off, there was no oil in the housing and also noticed one bearing worn enough for rollers to fall out

Fill plug 3/8 square on front of DIFF housing ie. drive shaft side at level of axle tube. will need to remove chunk to replace bearings. suggest a profesional do this or replace DIFF with bone yard one.
