    Yes I don't think there is a way, I think you must separate the tracks

    I think the newer models have a hole in the rims and hubs that you can grease thru, just got to raise the machine so you can rotate the tires to get to each grease fitting

    That's right they do. I use a flex extension to insert through the hole in the rim to get to the zerks. It still requires some long arms and some dexterity to do, but its better than taking the tracks off.

    I like to take my tracks off and check bearing play. That way you can grease and check for bearing/axle wear. I'm running the 18" rubber tracks onnan hdi.
