Procedure to oil Super A fan hub

Jmoody · Apr 17, 2017

I am rebuilding my Super A fan assembly and just want to confirm the proper procedure to oil the assembly. From what I have seen in a couple posts you fill up with the fill screw at top position. Is this correct and do you just fill till oil flows out? Then I saw that you rotate until the fill screw is at bottom position and drain till no more oil comes out. Is this correct too? Finally, planning to use straight 30w oil. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Jim

i usually remove screw and put 2 r 3 squirts of oil inside and replace screw. yes, you are correct on the procedure.

There's a little "standpipe" protruding inward from the screw hole.

Put some oil in it, then rotate so hole is at the bottom.

Once oil comes out there's enough/too much in it, you leave it pointing down to oil stops dripping out, which leaves the correct amount, up to the standpipe.

Yes. Thanks. I never knew about the standpipe. I just put oil in every now and then. I'll follow the correct procedure next time.
