Lubrication Maintenance; To Drain And Replace Lubricant; Rear Drum Brake - Monaco DIPLOMAT 2004 Owner's Manual

To Drain and Replace Lubricant:

With vehicle parked on a level surface and rear axle warm, place a large
container under axle.
1. Remove drain plug and allow axle to drain completely.
2. Dispose of oil properly.
3. Clean the drain plug and test (replace the drain plug if needed).
4. Install and tighten drain plug to 35-50 ft-lbs.
5. Clean the area around the fill plug from the axle-housing bowl.
6. Fill the axle with approved lubricant until the level is even with
the bottom of the fill plug hole.
WARNING: When checking or changing the lubricant,
always ensure that the axle is not "hot." Oil temperature 90º
or hotter can easily cause severe burns.
The slack adjuster and camshaft need to be lubed periodically to ensure
proper brake operation. Lubricate every 10,000 miles or annually.

Rear Drum Brake -
