We consider that both the Lucas oiler and the syringe should be supplied in the tool kit. The use of a syringe is mentioned in the Instruction Book, and there are several points instructed to be lubricated with the oil can which become more easily accessible if the syringe is used, e.g. clutch trunnion and withdrawal shaft. The syringe is also almost a necessity for replenishing the oil in hydraulic shock dampers. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
