Makes a lot of difference re: draining – the steering box side can be drained by loosening the 4 bolts holding the bottom cover on enough to let the oil drain out over a couple of days into a container placed below, which is what I did. Unfortunately, as Mike has queried, there is no way to do this on the idler side – about all one can do is use some kind of a small suction device to get out whatever can be gotten to that way through the fill hole.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#141100'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#141100'>The Penrite is so thick that you’ll need to warm it up and use a small injection device to properly top it off.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#141100'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#141100'>Sorry for the ‘brain fart’.
