Slide out rails

We have a 2914 Itasca Sunove 33C with Schwintek slides. Since there are four gear driven rails, two top and two bottom on each side I assume are there in fact four motors total to be lubed.

I have watched a YouTube video on how to lube the motor coupler and the "gibb" as it is called. Hard to know if you are spraying lubricant in the right place for the motor coupler. The "gibb" can be seen and so is easy to lube, the motor no so easy. Any hints?

    That is what I wondered. I now understand that there is a long shaft from the motor to a gear on the bottom of the shaft. The gear Assy should need no lube, just the gibb. However on the top (of course) the motor has a coupler and according to the video needs to be lubed, not quite as easy as the gibb's

    I have the CRC lube and only use it and have found many other uses for it
