Just changed the axle oil on the old girl, but didn't have anything to squirt it into the tranfer box. I had to attach a pipe onto an old squirty bottle for the front axle, but that would have taken ages to fill the transfer box up.
How is everyone doing this?
Been looking on flea bay, only found a draper 500ml cartridge pump, is this how people are filling this up?
Any help appreciated.

With one of these, or you could do as Busterbus does and use one of these.

Not doing it wrong at all, but by having a filler it can also be used to re-fill the gear and transfer box, makes the job a lot easier

As i don't buy my oil in bottles, i can't fill it that way. But the money i save on the oil i can afford to buy something to use!
I get the hypoid oil in 5ltr cans, just paid £20 for 8lts of very good quality oil supplied to the local Land rover garage!
Well handy working on the same estate were the oil supplier is!
