Hey all i just greased up my pred at the 25 hour mark, but only to all the visible zerks i found, havent touched anything farther then that. i got the zerks on the front A arms, and the 1 zerk on the back axle/swingarm area. is there any i missed? and on the 04 model (my quad) is there a zerk to grease the swingarm connection itself underneath there, or do i need to tear the whole swingarm off to grease it? its gettin pretty squeaky when i put it in the air and it comes down.

 

anyone? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I think you got them all, I dont have mine to look at. There may be on or two on the steering stem, one on the bottom and one near the handlebars. I'm not sure though. I was just thinking from what my sport had on it.

 

I think the Pred has a total of 10 zerks on it. 2 on each arm(8), one on the carrier and one near the top of the steering stem.

 

Thanks, i got 9 of the 10 zerks, missed the steering stem zerk. will get that in the morning.

 

steering zerk isnt alll that important...
and yes you need to tear down the swing arm to lube it.. its a pain.. but needs to be done.

 

Thanks hozed, ill have to do that sometime soon, thats the only spot ive missed greasing hehe.

 

The swingarm pivot is supposed to be lubed every 25 hours. Once you've gone through it, it's not bad at all.

 

are there any online references that could lead me step by step through taking swingarm off and greasing the pivot point? i looked through my entire manual in the maintenance section and it has nothing, unless im blind!

 

isnt much too it... just take the long bolt out that holds it to the engine.. lube everything.. and put it back again.
