    Steve,

    On top of the gearbox is a breather plug. Remove that. (I think iot takes a 17mm wrench, maybe larger)

    On the bottom of the gearbox is a drain plug, also 17mm I think. remove that to drain oil.

    When gearbox is empty, replace the drain plug.

    On the side of the gearbox are two smaller hex head screws, one about 3-4" above the other. Remove the BOTTOM screw.

    Pour the new oil in the top breather hole until it begins to overflow out of the screw hole on the side of the gearbox.

    Torque values are 24nm (212 in./lbs) for the drain plug. 6nm (53 in/lbs0 for the vent plug.

    Use gear oil available at any auto parts store. You can use API-GL5, or GL6SAE140EP, or 85W-140EP.

    If you have to replace the copper washer on the bottom drain plug, they are also available at the auto parts store.

    You can also go to the top pf this page and click on SUPPORT and click on manuals. Pick the installation manual for your engine and it will show you the various screw locations.

    Thats it, you're done.

    Bill.
