50 hour greasing

[s219]

My LS dealer specifically warned me about “ over greasing “ the axle pivot. He said a lot of owners over pressurize and blow the seal in the axle. He said
“ just a couple of pumps “ is more than enough if you do it each time you grease the rest. You will not see any grease oozing out like other zerks / pivots. I am just relaying what I was told...

Where does the old grease go?

If I have the time to grease consider me lucky. Certainly don't have the time suspend things in the air to grease them.

But you had time to read, and comment on this post.....just saying.:confused3:

Apparently, it will ooze out when it pivots. I am sure if you pump enough in, it will ooze. He just warned not to over grease the joint. I have not looked at the parts breakdown to see what he was talking about.

You can use your front loader to take the weight off of the front axle. As long as you don't take off the front tires (or lay under them) you can grease the pivot without too much worry. Just stay out of the way of the wheels in case of a hydraulic failure.

I usually grease until I hear the air pop. That usually means all the air is out and full of grease.
