re: Oil bath hub issue- update and question

Drain it, fill it up with gear oil, and take it to the shop. Im not familiar with how those things are made but as long as you arent dunking it in the water it'll be fine assuming it takes longer for all the oil to leak out than it takes to get to the shop.

The oil that came out was probably discolored from having water in it. I'd get new bearings just to be safe. Would suck seriously to leave it on the side of the road with exploded bearings.
