Greasing FW landing gear

YEP.....and you can pop the cover off top of leg assembly and drop a glop of grease down onto bevel gear as the zerk fitting is below that for the screw drive.

I also with 5vr hooked up to truck and legs fully retracted, drop inner leg down then spray them down with a dry graphite spray. Retract the inner leg and run driven tube down fully then spray it down with the graphite spray

Thanks for the reply OB. I figured to do a couple pumps, after talking to Lippert.

Sorry, can't post a picture, but the zerks are about 4"s below the top leg cap.

Update: I was not getting any post answers, so just got off the phone with Lippert.

The CS rep did not know, but was running back & forth talking to a third party. This person said to just put in the smallest amount of moly grease to quiet the system.

I asked, what am I actually greasing? Third person required again, said a gear and a screw drive. I asked if someone should run the landing gear, while I pumped a couple strokes of grease. They said not necessary.

Hope this info helps a few others, with similar system.

Could you post a picture? I'm curious as others might be as to where they installed that zerk.
