Hi

newbie question time.

i have the bias top plate off waiting for a new one to arrive.im thinking whilst its stripped down i could drain off gear box oil and refill from the top.anyone know if this is viable.

and you can fill it from the top of the box because i have done it when i drained the oil and could not get the filler out
