Greasing the inside rear axle

[Homer Simpson]

Ok ,I tried to use my regular grease gun to grease my Max IV, however the inside rear axle on the right rear is so close to the sprocket I can not get to it. Is there a special adapter to do it? Thanks

Try a extension hose on the gun, and/or a swivelling, angled end piece.

I just put new flanges with gease nipples on my '93 Max IV (original setup did not have inside greaseable bearings). I attached an extension hose to each nipple and ran that hose back to the outside of the engine compartment, then attached another nipple to the hose. I filled the hose with grease, and now to get grease into the bearing it takes only a couple of pulls on the gun trigger. I considered using epoxy to fix the hose to the flange nipple but didn't as the hoses seem pretty tight. We'll see what happens once I start chasing beavers again. Can't wait for the snow to clear!
