Wax injecting the box section containing rear axle mounts

What's the best way of accessing the box section above the rear axle mounts? Might be wise l drop a litre or so of Waxoyl in there. I see a rubber bung low down on the inner rear arch. Is that it or should I be looking elsewhere?
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Buy this stuff comes with it's own probe and is ready to go, in tests way better than waxoil..

Otherwise you would have to buy a specific probe kit for waxoil products. There are other products from
http://www.rust.co.uk/ but the Dynax stuff is easy to use.

Underneath the rear seat, on each side above the axle mounts, is a pice of tape painted over with seam sealer. Lift the tape to access the trailing arm mounts from above.
Alternatively if you cannot locate the tape or wish to leave it undisturbed there is a drain hole just forward of the trailing arm mounts that you can push a lance into and drench the insides with cavity wax.
I too can recommend the Bilt Hamber Dynax, its brilliant stuff. I feel that waxoil does not deserve the reputation that it has having found it 'protecting' completely rusty box sections.
While you are at it, take the rear cards out next to the passenger seat and wax the sills too. Ditto for the rear corners of the car after removing the liners.

Thank you very much - that's very helpful!
I'll remove the tape and treat from above as I can just pour it down that way!
Thanks again :)
