You don't. The nose is designed for a 100,000 mile service life before it requires a rebuild or service.
If you MUST muck around with it, you can follow the oil change procedure documented in this manual on the TRD site; http://www.trdusa.com/installMan.asp...-17620-228.PDF
Keep in mind that it requires you remove the supercharger to removed the nose...

Believe it or not I just went out and unscrewed the hex and no oil came out, and I could not see any pool of oil inside the gears.
The reason for my post is because 3 days ago my s/c started sounding like a coffee can full of marbles being spun around.
I have 200,000 miles on this s/c, most of it earned by towing a 2000LB+ construction trailer. I have never preformed any maintenance on the s/c.

It sounds like you are due for a rebuild then 
TRD offers rebuilt nose assemblies on a core trade in basis. Take a look at; http://www.trdusa.com/installMan.asp...-17620-226.PDF

WATRD once again gets you the correct info that helps out. I have been off the board for almost 2 years now and am just getting back into taking care of my 97 Runner. Thanks!
