Help! Leaking hub

The hub on my left rear brake tire is leaking like crazy...it has less than 1/2 of the fluid in it, and the fluid is leaking and slinging crap all over the rim. How do I fix this?

The old oil filled hubs are notorious for leaking from the fill screw. Get some 90 wt gl, and unscrew the fill. Fill the hub. Then put some blue loc-tite on the fill screw and you are good to go.

Ahh thank you! I'm guessing I'm going to need to take the wheel off to do this?
