I should be getting the taper roller bearings either tomorrow or Wednesday so I started some cleanup in preparation. I decided to remove the sight glass because it's always leaked very slowly from day one. I suspect the problem is the rather hard rubber they used for the seal. It feels very brittle. I will replace it with an O-ring. The thread on the sight glass is 27-1.5m, at least as best as I can tell. I believe it's a metric pipe thread.
