Well, the LA 482 FEL valve/joystick assembly has the same instructions - but no grease fitting, so I do as in the prior post, getting to the joystick base via the straw type of extension that comes with most spray cans (WD, Boeshield, etc) to get around the protective cover. I may change my approach though. There is a part (#70 in the 482 assembly) that connects the raise/lower hydralic valve to the metal cube at the base of the joystick. Such is a bolt with a smooth ball where the bolt head should be, and around it is a metal band that allows the joystick cube/bolt assembly to rotate about 1 axis. Mine broke last weekend (ball slipped out of metal band - as did the rubber bushing), at 70 hours of use. When I took the joystick assembly guard off, it seems clear that the most pressure is placed on the bolt/ball when the bucket is "floated" - which I've been doing a lot of. Now, I'm going to specifically lubricate that ball/band assembly. The bucket curl control does not have a similar set-up.
