8-3/4 with no gear oil :(

I was doing some tune-up work on my slant six in an apartment parking lot way back in 1981... a guy came over and asked for help with his car. He was trying to change the oil for the first time, took out a plug and drained it into a pan, but said the dipstick was still full before he put any oil in it. :rolleyes:
Even before I smelled the (gear) oil it was pretty obvious he'd taken out the wrong drain plug. And we didn't have any way to remove the fill plug or put the oil back in with just basic hand tools... he ended up being towed to a shop. Oh well, live and learn!
Have u repacked the wheel bearings? Or r they the green type. Kim
No worries, they are Green.
