Lubricant for 5er kingpin

[Indy500]

When I purchased my used 5er the dealer installed the hitch as part of the deal. But I didn't get to use it but once before I winterized it. I noticed that they didn't use any type of grease on the hitch plate. But I have the revolution hitch with the wedge in place so it doesn't turn at the plate. But shouldn't I still need to have some type of lubricant on the plate? And is there a place to grease the revolution hitch where it does turn?

No need for any lubricant on the hitch plate with a Revolution. You can use a little oil/grease on the kingpin and wedge sides for ease of hookup if you like.

I take my Sidewinder apart once a year or so and grease all the bearing surfaces with Lucas Red-n-Tacky.

With your Revolution you just take off the castle nut on the bottom to lower the hitch and regrease the bearing/spindle. Take a look at maint doc on the Lippert site. Also some YouTube videos out there.
