I checked my A-10 manual and it had no information about refilling the bubble chamber.
On another note, if you disassemble the sextant remember to put grease on the tapered shaft, not oil, because the high friction without grease will cause a large backlash problem and oil is not strong enough to stand up to the pressure.
