Lubing rear avle

What chassis? Air suspension? What are you trying to access?

The grease fittings on axle, drive shaft.

Tiffin Bus w/freightliner chassis

I like to do things myself also, but some times it pays for someone else to do it, thats has the equipment. Go to a truck stop.

Most rear wheel bearings are lubricated by the fluid in the differential.

Safest way to do it is to drive the rear wheels up on blocks. That will give you enough clearance to slide under to grease the drive shaft.

Even 4" is usually enough to give clearance sufficient to keep you safe, should the air system drop the coach. Remember, the axle can not drop-- only body components in the event of suspension failure.

For $20, buy a creeper at Harbor Freight. Should be plenty of room under the coach sitting on the ground.

Thanks everyone for input, got some heavy duty scrap wood from homebuilders around here & drove rear wheels up on blocks, had plenty of room then to wiggle around,Othertonka sorry not the wheel bearings its the grease fittings, located on axles, & driveshaft. they can be greased with grease gun & #2 heavy duty chassis grease ( at any auto store) thanks all, Robert Bozeman, Mt

the grease fittings are not the axle per say.There the brake cams and the slack ajusters plus ujoints and the slip yoke.I have a 2008 Bus and there is plenty of room to lay on the ground with a tarp
Actually I just did it a few days ago.One can put the jacks down on spacers and lift it up a few inches if your personally a little on the big side

That will work fine as long as there is no suspension failure. Don't like trusting my life to air bags, air lines, ride height valves, etc.

But, just going up on blocks 4-6" not only insures more working room, but room to live if there is a failure.

Yes, some coaches have enough room for some size guys even with the suspension collapsed-- check yours before going under there.
