    Ok, this post is more for me.
    So I can come back and read how to get the hose fitting on the zerk.

    The particular fitting in question is the one directly above the exhaust. Front drive shaft.
    You have to oreant the fitting towards the drivers door. Then while holding the grease hose fitting on the
    Zerk, turn the drive shaft clockwise or up until you have room to press the fitting on the zerk.

    Again, some or most of you might be lost here. But this mostly for me later. Took me 30mins. To figure out how to do it.

    If the Internet breaks you are screwed. A 3x5 note card in your owners manual in your glove box will work. Even when the Internet brakes. :thumbsup:

    Take the exhaust shield off, rotate zerk to passenger side, grease away. Very front one was more of a pain in the butt then the rest.

    Putting the trans into Neutral (with parking brake on) made it easy to spin the front driveshaft and get a grease gun into there.

    Did mine today after getting 15k service. The tech hit the zerks near the diffs, but the one that requires removing the heat shield was caked with dirt and had clearly not been serviced.... boooooooo stealership.....
