the only real safe way is take the weight off the nose gear, and someone with a somewhat skinny enough arm, reach up through the inspection hole to gain access to the servicing valve...I think the book calls out for between 35 and 40 pounds....I typically put enough air into it to where the scissors look like a strecthed out "V"...if you put too much air in the strut, you will not be able to steer
