How does one oil a shimano 333 hub?
I'm doing some repairs on my girlfriend's bike and I was wondering how one oils it? Do you just drip some in the hole where the shifter pin slides in? Thanks!

If you're not familiar with something someone is asking about, why pretend you are? Just let someone who knows about the hub answer the question. Hopefully Sheldon, or someone else who's actually serviced one of these things, will answer the OP's question-

I had one and it had an oil port. Weird that some versions don't.

, but a 3-in-1 can won't do #### for the other 95%. I therefore conclude that the OP needs to do a bit of research. Besides, I dredged the thread - unanswered - off page three. Better some post then none at all. Agreed?

The only service you did for the OP was bringing the thread back to the top, which apparently has now provided the answer he was looking for. FWIW, it was headed back down the page when I drug it up, too. I think a more appropriate answer for you to have given would have been something like, "I have no idea, but I'll bump the thread for you." That would have been nice. Because if the thread had ended with your "answer," the OP would have clearly had some bad info-

Whatever hub it is, you don't "oil" it through the skewer hole. And examine the context. The OP asked about "oiling the bike", which I take to mean the whole bike. I'm aware that some parts of a bike do take oil , but a 3-in-1 can won't do #### for the other 95%. I therefore conclude that the OP needs to do a bit of research.

If a 333 3-speed hub doesn't have a port then yes, you would put oil where the skewer goes. The skewer is the shifting mechanism and the only opening into the hub unless you take it apart. These are bolt-on hubs.

No. To everything you said. Please do be careful in doling out advice like this. It is wrong, and the tone is insulting.

That's correct, just lay the bike on its left side and drip the oil in where the pushrod goes.
