wheel bearing oil bath

[sfedeli3]

Ed/Peggy,

Fill it with 85W140 gear oil or something close. Lucas makes a good
product that you can find at most truck stops. There should be a ring
on the clear plastic cover that is well-below the fill plug. Make sure
that the axle is LEVEL before reading it. You don't want too much in
there.
