i have a question. on my trailblazer i cannot find a single way to get up to that grease zerk for the swing arm on the left side. i tried to get the air box off to reach down but that didnt work and i just cant see to reach all the way in there from teh back. help please

 

i dont know if the Scrambler and TB zerks are identical, but im sure their close...i have a heck of a time trying to grease there, but i do it from the back, just reach up in, and maybe use something small like a screwdriver to push the grease gun on the fitting? I havent tryed that, but it may work. It also helps if you have somebody else there to help you.

 

I had the same problem, here's the trick. If you have one of the 4 oz tube grease guns put an extension on the barrel then attach the zerk adaptor. You need one about 3 inches longer than they supply. Have someone lift the back of the bike up to open the swing arm up by grabbing the bar on the back an picking up. You can just reach the fitting over the top of the swing are, it's a pain but with the longer extension on the grease gun it easy.

If you don't have an extension hit Home Depot or Lowes for a pice of 1/4 (?) tubing, it's all the same tubing.

Good Luck

thanks for the info, i'll remeber that next time i grease the swingarm.

 

thanks ill try it

 

I use a pistol grip type grease gun with a flexible hose tube. I had to buy the flexible hose seperate. It's a full size gun for the large tubes. It's a little tight but I can reach with out too much hassle.

 

I have a mini grease gun with a flexible extension hose. It is a tight fit but can do it with it sitting normally on the ground.
