c If drainage exists but is inadequate then a slot or hole should be cut

into the housing on the lower side of the tube(s) to allow oil out of
the axle tube area.

NOTE :

Figure 7. shows upper and lower drainage slots cut

c Remove any sharp edges left behind by the modifications that

c Make sure any grinding dust, filings or drill chips left behind by

cutting the drainage slots are completely cleaned out of the
housing.

c Check that the axle air vents are clear and working correctly.
