Grease fitting locations

klown · 12-28-2007, 07:34 PM

Supposedly the 4wd has 8 fittings, does anybody have a drawing of where they are? I've never had to lube a chassis, what tools are required?

8? Where do you get that from? I've always only done 5... All along the drive shafts. Two on the front DS from transfer case to differential, 3 on the 2-piece rear DS, all at the U-Joints. Rear DS ones are on the outside, front ones are inside the f'n U-Joint and are a PITA to get to! Especially the one on the transfer case side because of the skid plate and frame cross member.

Just need a grease gun and some grease. I have a mini grease gun with a flexible tube to bend it around to get to the damn zerks...

I got "8" from the Amsoil website, when I looked for info on a 2007 tacoma this comes up:

CHASSIS LUBRICATION
Two-wheel drive
0 Fittings, 0 Plugs
Four-wheel drive
8 Fittings, 0 Plugs..........LM
Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease
Synthetic GHD Heavy-Duty EP Grease
Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease NLGI #2

Hmmm.... General consensus on TN is that are only 5.... Wonder where the other 3 are....

I know I haven't found any, but then I didn't really look. If it was 4, I'd say maybe one on each wheel bearing or something, but 3?

Oh come on Tiger ! it's the muffler bearings, gotta grease 'um.

I don't see any grease fittings....

ha ha, thats cool. When I was at an auto parts store the big joke was to call the "new guy" and ask for them, the bearing book was like the size of 3 King James version of the Bible, and he would look in the book forever and never find any. DOH !

Seriously, I've only been doing 5 for last couple years. Mine's an 06 so I don't know if they've added more or not. I'd never heard of it having 8. Can you get more info from the place that said there's 8?

Yeah, let me do some more research, see if I can't find out why it says 8 fittings. Thanks for your help.

piercedtiger · 12-29-2007, 10:52 AM

no problem. If you find out were the other 3 are, I'd like to know. Maybe I'm missing something, or have others that should be grease occasionally.
