Since this unit is old and I haven’t worked on it before, it’s taking quite a bit longer than expected.

It’s important to double-check the manual just to be safe.
You don’t want to break or snap anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I ordered gear oil for the change, but one bottle isn’t enough. (front and rear) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the wheel off, I’ll start with the harder side to access (front).

I didn’t expect the drain plug to be in this location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gear oil that’s hard to pour in goes in easily with a syringe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made labels to stick on so it’ll be easier next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s check the rear wheel. No issues there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The axle shaft is also in good condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tachometer gear is split-type. I can’t remove it with the tools I have on hand, so I’ll leave it for now.
I also lubricated the tachometer cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
