Equa-flex suspension?

I'm having the hardest time getting grease to go in. Any tips how to grease those fittings? Shackles take grease ok.

Every post I've read about this at least claims to have the bolts installed in the correct orientation.

Easy enough to check. Drop a small drill bit down each hole and, if you can't see it, then send the whole thing back...under warranty, on their dime. You'd think it was an LCI product...

Wow, it was about 2012 that I got those bad bolts and it was when I bought Dexter easy flex and wet bolt/shackle kits from E trailer. Several guys posted that they had the same problem. I wonder how many more of those bad bolts they have! Craig

Same here, didn't realize it until the next year when I went to grease them. eTrailer told me "Sorry".
Haven't bought anything from them since.

If you have never had the Equa-flex take grease Schomer is on the right track. When I installed my wet bolts I also had several that were not drilled all the way through.

X3 on raising the susp off the ground.

Jack it up from the frame and stretch your suspension

Take the pressure from the wheels pick up some from the ground.

Maybe a bad zert fitting. Might try replacing the zert with a new one. I had
To do that to one of mine.
