Always grease a Volvo front axle with the wheels on the ground.
Non-Volvo axles are typically greased with the wheels on the ground. Consult
with the axle manufacturer for the latest recommendation.

Add brake fluid if necessary. Use only DOT 4 brake fluid in the clutch

cause seal damage which will cause leakage.

specification API NLGI No. 2.
