Yes i fill through the orange plug,the other seems to low,not enough oil.if the orange plug is wrong & its over filling the bb box,no problem,the extra oil will leak out from the breather.over filling is better than low oil,gears might get damaged

Paul, I used the ventilation hole making the job without removing anything in 10 minutes. Just use a bottle with a plastic tube connected and pressure the oil in.

Sounds like someone could invent a simple kit. Plastic bottle containing, or marked, for the correct volume of oil, and a plastic tube that fits to the bottle and fits, perhaps with an adapter plug, to the breather plug hole.

At a reasonable price I bet you would have a few takers.

Peter, I think you must be a man who can spot an opportunity at 100 paces? I use a pressurized bleeding kit for my brakes, I wonder if it would work with gear oil?

I have an oil syringe for doing just such a job, looks like a grease gun with a plastic tube sticking out the front and without the side leaver. Bought it in the late 70's, probably still available somewhere.

Easy to use

I'm using the same rig that Atalante shows but I had a major disaster when I blew off one of the hoses and ended up with RedLine all over the rear. I see the hose clamps, but I went one step further and drilled all the connections and used I/16" pins to keep the whole rig together--works a treat.

to do with a plastic bottle






must put a piece of metal tube at the start of the hose.
