it was just a small mod but i was happy to do it.
i had already cleaned and fitted the bearing to shaft and had packed it with grease.
i had to strip it down again to drill and tap the hole.
then clean again to get all the swarf out.
sum trailer hubs come with a nipple. but this was a car hub.
there easey to do .thay got a taper thread on nipple .
i already had the tap . in this case it was 1/8" bsp. British standard pipe.
that imperial."" but dont know what tap you might use elswhare.
made sure it was clean then put it all back together .and then pumped in sum fresh grease . the seals i have arent a good fit .so i did expect a bit dirt on the outside.
but now i can pump out dirty grease with fresh stuff.
all i got to do now is train the wife to climb mast with a grease gun .
and give it a few shots. ill just tell her the washing machine will get the clothes
cleaner if she dos that. she knows the wind gen will make electric and washing machine
needs electric .
yes the tap has a slight taiper i forgot to say .
i knew one day they will come in handy.(nipples)
i suppose its possible to fit one to the yaw tube that fits over pipe.
