Grease fittings?

[johnm]

Went out to grease the wheels and under the hub cap there is a very stiff rubber pad - which I didnt remove as it wasnt coming off easily. I am assuming there are grease zerks under it.. but before I take it off, I want to make sure. Can someone help me out?
Secondly, where are the grease fittings for the suspension? The morryde manual tells what type of grease to use, but not where the fittings are. I can see none without getting under the rig and my personal food storage compartment makes this somewhat difficult!
Thanks

The rubber caps located behind the hub center cap does indeed expose a zerk fitting. Be aware that adding grease through the zerk fitting does not replace the process of repacking your bearings. Of course, that is a debatable statement. As far as fittings for the chassis, what suspension do you have? Wet bolts? TCS?

There was no grease fitting behind the rubber cap.

Hi folks, looking at you picture, I see printed statements referencing oil level.
Are you sure that your axles are the grease able type? Many higher end axles are equipped with an oil bath type bearing assembly. Typically they would use a heavier weight gear lube. There would be a reference line or marking to the cap to indicated the proper level.

It does read "Oil Level SAE 30 (?)". My TCS has the seals and caps for oil bath, but they are greased bearings, repacked them myself. I don't know...this is weird. If you can peek in there a bit more, look at the outer color of the screw-on cap. Red is oil bath and black is grease.

How much grease do you put in the Zirk fitting if you have one?

Personally, I don’t use the axle spindle grease zerk fittings at all. When we bought a used toyhauler years ago it had been over greased via those zerks and I had to replace nearly new brake assemblies due to them being grease soaked. For the past hundred years or so of automotive type bearings pulling them apart, cleaning and repacking with fresh grease has been the standard method and that’s what I have always done.

Thanks. I just get mine done? Pulling those tires at home is work! 🥵
