Pulled top Allen plug on LU and it looks like lithium grease running out everywhere. Pulled bottom plug and doing out as well. I have never changed this oil before and the motor has extremely low hours. Is this normal, it this how it comes when new. Have a container of gear oil but this crap coming out is the consisity of grease. Been running out now for bout 5 min. |

Think the color is coming from the water that was in it from the seal leak. Have an air hose with a 1/4" fitting on top and have small sweep out bottom to get as much out as possible. The put the new chit. |

LU seals were shot. Went see peck and got the new nut with three seals. Installed the new seals and wanted to change the oil cuz I new it was bad. Didn't run after replaced the seals. And here I am. |
