Thought I'd take the opportunity to lube the s/a following the brief detail in the riders handbook.
Filled up my can with heavy oil and squirted slowly into the grease nipple. I'd read here some time ago about undoing the centre bolt to relieve the pressure build up, which I did. Didn't realize it was a rod.

You probably know how this went.
Couldn't engage the rod to screw back in and in trying the drive side cap is dislodged and oil has come out of the other side.
I then took a peek in the Norman White book where it advises against taking this route. Now I know why
Currently have a strip of card rammed down between the primary case and the end cap.
How can I put this right?
