How is the rear axel greased? The only way I can see is to take the whole thing apart and replace the bearings. According to the microfiche there is a spacer bearing which may bar drilling and threading a whole for a grease fitting. Thanks for any info.

 

You got it down exactly beatle. There is a spacer but only to keep you from getting the bearing in too far. The axle carrier has sealed bearings but when you replace them, tear the seals from the inside of the bearings and drill a few holes in the spacer. Then drill and tap the outer carrier for a grease cert and you have a greaseable carrier. Works great. I did it to my 99 ltd edition.
