Oil Filled Fan Hub Questions
I am working on my 8BA engine which has not run in a long time. I was cleaning the 6-blade fan and attached slotted bracket assembly on my work bench today. When I turned the assembly so the fan was in the up position, several teaspoons of oil ran out from around the shaft. Is this normal or is it telling me it wants a rebuild? I see a small screw which allows access into the hub and I assume this is where you add oil. How do you get the correct amount in?
No oil leaks out when the fan is down or vertical like it is on the engine. Thanks - Mark |

Re: Oil Filled Fan Hub Questions
If you take it apart you will see how it works. See the link below for the information you need to know about the oil filled fan hub assembly. Probably isn't anything wrong with the one you have.

I just serviced mine. Used an old fashion plastic ketchup squeeze bottle that I got at wallyworld for 98 cents to get the transmission oil in. Worked perfectly.
