I've some minor leakage of swivel grease which I want to replenish. How do I measure the amount that's still in there and to which lvl should I add one shot swivel grease?

Hope that helps |

As above, if I am suspicious of a slight leak then half a tube in each side to be sure. ---

Thnx, another job sorted. But to see if both sides leak equally (and I've filled them to the same lvl) I painfully designed a stub axle grease measuring kit. After a few hours of designing and prototyping I came up with this:
