I just got my August 2002 Dirt Wheels and noticed that on page 188, they describe how to put a grease zerk in a Blaster's rear axle carrier.
My question is: Do you simply drill right into the rear of the swingarm housing and install this grease zerk while the ATV is completely assembled, or do you take the axle off the swingarm and then install it on the part (tube) that holds the bearings?
If you drill right into the swingarm housing, do you have to remove the axle or just drill into it while it is still on the swingarm?
Please help????

If you use a magnetized drill bit (alot are) and you clean it often while drilling the housing you would probably be ok leaving everything together but then again you have to tap the carrier out also to accept the zirk, harder to do without shavings.
When you do put the grease in go very slow or you can blow the seals and bearings out of the carrier.

So you do actually put the grease zerk in the rear of the swingarm where the axle goes through it?
I thought maybe you are suppossed to disassemble the rear of the swingarm, take the axle out and the bearing carrier that you drill into is still on the axle. In other words, do you drill into the swingarm just above the axle or do you take the axle out to access the bearing carrier?
