3. Slide the gearcase out of the tube.
Using a grease gun, pump lithium-
base grease (about 10 grams)
into the grease fitting (B) on the
gearcase until you see old grease
being purged from the gearcase.
Purged grease will be visible in the
outer tube cavity.
4. Clean up excess grease, then
reassemble the gearcase onto the
outer tube. Make sure the index
bolt fits into the hole on the outer
tube. Securely tighten both bolts.
