Re: Versa Planetary v2 (3:1) Planet Gear Seizing

A point that I observe many people missing when greasing VP gearboxes: every planet gear should be taken off its shaft and have the shaft/bore in the gear greased and have the bottom face of the gear greased. Packing the inside of the transmission with grease isn't enough to get grease where it needs to be!

I can easily imagine not greasing these areas leading to a seized transmission.
