I've got a 2006 21v with a boatmate trailer and was curious to maintenance. I read a post from August but still have a question or two.
I've got the clear bearing caps and one of them looks completely empty. I can see the hex nut on the spindle.
Is that nut the empty and fill port?
Do you rotate the wheel to empty do you just pull the caps off and let the oil drain out to empty? (catching it in an environmentally safe fashion of course)
What kind of oil do you use?
If I do find that the existing oil is watery do I have to replace the bearings and start fresh or can I just replace the oil?
Thanks in advance for any help ! :)
