Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
There has been a long standing debate since roller bearings were invented on weather they should be oiled or greased.I pulled one of the hub oil caps that were originally CLEAR
and have been painted over to find grease instead of oil
in there. It does NOT look good guys. I took a picture
of the dryed out grease inside the cap, you can see the
cracks where the grease has dried out.
I "believe" these axles were OE filled w/ a Hypoid type
of oil. I am not an expert, if someone is please chime in
but maybe this old grease needs to be removed and all
reassembled and use oil and get new CLEAR caps.
The caps are cheap, you can get a pair of them for $10.00
or so.
Any input?
