what you need is a pump, looks kind of like a
bike pump, pulls the oil out, should take
a few times to empty it compleatly.
Petty cheap to buy at most "good" auto parts stores;

or you can use a shop vac with a small hose (I like
a 3/8 clear tubing, but small fuel line will work, duct
tape it to the vac hose or make a fitting)
that can go in the hole, little messy to clean up
after inside the vac.

On the original forum, Sweptline.com, there was a "how-to" about installing a plug in the bottom of the axle so you could drain it. The article still might be there somewhere. You drill and tap a small hole and use a pipe plug to seal it. It's a little trouble the first time, but makes it easy to change the fluid from then on.
