To remove grease simply pump in fresh EP90 gear oil. If the grease is old and
hardened then repeat the process after maybe a couple of hundred miles. This
will give the fresh oil a chance to work through and soften the remaining
grease so that it comes out more readily when more oil is pumped through,

Bill.
