filling gearbox oil

[Ginger_boy]

My brian is telling me that they're less likely to shear?

Got them on my diffs but hexangon plugs on the Gearbox. Found that alittle time digging all the dirt out of the 1/2" square holes and warming the surounding area up with a blow tourch works wonders undid a treat the last time I changed the oild in them.

As for the gearbox if memory serves the plug is the filler but the bolt just to the right of it is the oil level

I guess it's to make sure you don't accidentally drain the gearbox oil onto your face while trying to top it up

Its quite a tight squeeze between the trany box and the gearbox.
First time i did it i used those stupid little bottles of gear oil from halfords they where a bugger to put the oil in with. When I changed the oil this time i used a oil syringe with a piece of rubber tube attached, routed the pipe up into the anus didn't then have to keep crawling under with another shot of oil.

I've just put a pipe on the end of the halfords bottle

When you've squidged them enough times you can push quite a big up the pipe...
You can't have it that long though so you do still have to crawl around underneath

i still havent drained it, i went underneath and seen grease nipples on the driveshafts and filled them with grease, forgetting about the gearbox.
