A quart of gear lube will be more than enough. The middle drive will take 10 oz, and the book says that the final drive takes 10 oz also, but I can never get that much in it. I just fill it to just below the bottom of the the filler hole threads.

Let them soak in some PBlaster or other penetrating oil for a bit first.

Make sure you can remove the filler plug BEFORE you remove the drain plug. It would suck to get it drained, and then discover that you can't fill it back up. At least his way you can still ride until you are able to remove the plug.

Black plug in front

is the chain tensioner. Most people new to these machines don't immediately identify that thing right away because these things run backwards compared to all the others. Be sure to check the manual before attempting to adjust.
