The best plan would be to not get anything in there if possible, metal shaving are sometimes really tough to flush out.

That said, if there is a separate fill plug you could use it to apply VERY low pressure air flow to the drive while you are drilling and tapping it to blow the shavings out and keep them out.

You would need to be very careful to not use much pressure and damage the seals.
