Default Anyone greased their '04.5 Sportsman 400/500HO?

I'm ordering a couple hundred bucks worth of Amsoil product for my trucks and 2 Sportsman. I got down to the U-Joint Lube and the owners manual says there are 3 fittings on the front drive line. I say SHOW ME! I looked at the U-Joints and I see NO zerk fittings anywhere. I remember reading that Polaris removed a butt-load of zerks from their design but the "Owners Manual" says there are 3.

Am I too high on Crack to see them or do they NOT exist? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Your right ,they are not on the u- joints.Look on the inside of your front tires,towards the bottom.The zerks are on the side facing the rear tires.They are kind of hard to see,so you might have to turn the tires one way or another.There you will find one on each side.The third one is on the drive shaft just below the crank case.It is also hard to see.You will have to push your 4wheeler back and forth until you see it rotate around.I usually go underneath the floorboard to get to it with the grease gun(flexible hose ofcourse).It is a pain but you will find your own way of getting to it.I hope this helps!
Good luck!
