    Clotted axle gear oil

    Adding ECO HUBS to our M1078 this weekend is going well except the front axle gear oil is clotted. Not cloudy or milky, black as midnight, clots when cleaning out the wheel hub with metal cleaner. It was difficult to clean out the wheel housings sufficiently. Planning to drop all the gear oil...
