transfer case fluid change (1 Viewer)

I just finished rebuilding my emergency brake on my 69 fj40 which requires draining the transfer case. I need to refill it but can seem to find where to fill it. Does it share fluid with the transmission. I believe some of them do but can't remember if the 3 speed and transfer case share fluid.

The fill plug is to the far left of the rear of the transfer case, shown below, just under where the cover on the end of the transmission output shaft is located. (The cover is missing in the pic below, but it's the furthest hex head to the left in the pic.)

It takes a crush gasket for sealing. I'm sure someone will say you can re-use the old gasket.
