question: is this a standard noise the hub should be making while turning? it is without oil right now and quite noisy/loud, i just received it.

question2: any advice on how to put the oil in safely? this is my first gear hub that uses oil instead of grease. is a plastic syringe enough? just squirt 20ml in there right from the tip slowly or do I need to feed in some plastic hose etc..
also, I already installed the rotor in my excited foolishness and didnt realize i will need to lace that hub up, now I have to put the rotor down, I expected to do this for the first time once the rotor will be worn out and will need a change, now I need to figure out how to extract the end cap so I can remove the torque arm and rotor. I am using 135x10 caps. any advice to use some specific tool that will fit in there to do this or is it as simple as the tutorial makes it to be? just "tap the end of the torque arm and remove the cap"? based on the fact that I needed to smack it with a mallet to put it down there, I do not believe it will be an easy job to push out, but I also used grease per instructions.
//I cannot get to the swap cage bolts over the rotor, two bolts are being blocked by the rotor.
edit: ok, so I managed to extract the end cap with no problems using some redneck engineering, so I guess my only unanswered quetion is the sound that the hub makes.
