GS,
If you can figure a way to get jerk fittings in there, do it. It will
definetly help.

P.S. Remember though; what goes in, must come out! Don't forget to also
drill a hole for the old grease to escape from.

You know I wonder if anyone has tried to drill a few holes
and add some zerks? Stupid maybe, maybe not? If it can be
done, I would do it. Not sure it would help them now at
30K tho.
