420 re-filling Final Drive / IRS with oil
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2018 1:33 pm
I’ve given up for today, it took me quite some to remove the Final Drive/IRS oil drain and filler plugs out of the 420 and get the old oil out.
Now I’ve the challenge of re-filling the unit with new oil.
Short of filling my oil can oil and squirting it in a bit at a time, has anyone got any sensible suggestions on how I can get the new oil back in please?
I thought about connecting a small flexible hose to top of the new gear oil plastic bottle dispenser and just squeezing it but can see that might get a bit messy.
Just like water, oil won’t run uphill...
Cheers, Mac.
