4 o'clock sounds right

 

Sooooo - I guess I should just turn them to the 4 (or 8) o'clock position and let the excess drain out and when it stops I should be all set. Does that sound right?

 

Yes Sir,

Goona do mine this morning!!!

I know on mine, I am supposed to fill it at the 3 oclock position. I generally fill it straight up, then spin it to 3 and wait for it to stop leaking out. kind of like how a manual transmission on a car is filled [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
By holding it at 4 oclock, you wouldn't have much fluid in there at all, at 3, its approx half full of fluid and should plenty of room for expansion.

Got the seal on the hub changed,refilled the hub to the 4 o'clock position . took it for a ride and wouldn't you no it ,no more leaking from the seal area ,which was my original problem! Also fixed the spongee brake problem,I had to use the vacuum bleed method... Even the so called (emergencyBrake) or foot pedal locks the rear brakes if needed!!!

Thanks again for the help people !!!!

If i was going to add fluid I would add it and reinsert the screw then spin the wheel a few times and drain the fluid. Repeat a couple of times. The hub requires so little fluid its good insurance to flush a few times.

 

The best way to change yor fluid is to unscrew the hex bolt then drain all the old oil out. Then fill the hub up in the 12:00 position and move your wheel back and foward a few times but be sure not to go past the 2:00 position. After you have done this turn the hub to the 3:00 position and if oil starts to come out of the hub you have enough oil in it. You may have to repeat this a few times to make sure you have the right amount of oil in it. Your hubs will hold 4 oz. of oil for each side. Not enough oil will result in your hubs not wanting to engage and disengage properly.
