Lubing axle 2011 2216

[showtime0022]

Does anybody know if the axles have zerk fittings to lube them?

While they probably have the fittings, I'd suggest you take the hubs off and manually inspect and repack the bearings, since you haven't had them off before. And you never know if the seals are compromised until you actually look at them.

If they are anything like mine were you will have to clean all the excess grease off the brakes and magnets that blew past the seal when they greased them.

On my 2016 I used the LCI "EZ-Lube" connector (Zerk fitting) and put 3/4 of a tube of grease in there before I started having it come out the overflow. Totally ineffective way to reach both bearings and just created a grotesque mess. It really isnt that hard to take the wheel off, remove the hub, seals, clean the bearing and re-pack. This is what I did on all 4 after that first wheel fiasco. I'd recommend that too.

I tired using the EZ Lube zerk fitting once and will never do it again. You can read all about that fiasco here:
