Lube point question

Remove this ad
I noticed while under the truck this morning that there are two (2) lube points on the front end where the fill filltings are facing up. I had a heck of a time getting the grease gun fitting on the the top of one, but there is no way in hell to get it on the other. They are both in line, but the one on the passenger side does not have enough clearance. Do they make some sort of 90 depgree grease fitting? Maybe even one that attached to the grease gun?
How do you guys get at that one fitting??

THANKS

Re: Lube point question

You can get a 90 for your grease gun..Kind of slides over it
Or, just change out the zerk with a 45 or 90

Re: Lube point question

Yep! Take it off so you can compare thread sizes to make sure you have the right one. That's a good idea to replace em! I've got an adaptor on the grease gun for the 2 on the pitman arms, they are rather hard to get to.

Re: Lube point question

How many lube points are on the escalade? And where are they? I have never done this before, I was reading somewhere you have to get rid of the old grease before greasing?

Re: Lube point question

Autozone might have the zerks and/or lube tip..Also try a hardware or tool store.
Zerks come in metric and standard and different thread sizes so be sure to get thr right one..
Someone on here probably has the link to the lube points..I think there are 11
Don't overfill the rubber bladders for sure.
