Normally you have to rotate the engine so the grease fitting lines up to where it is accessible. Some folks bump the ignition using the starter but it’s easier to just disable the ignition by turning the battery switch off. Then put a socket on the crankshaft pulley nut in order to rotate the engine manually to where it needs to be.

So how many of those do you actually think get greased?

[dogwspts]

I would say 0. Unless you have a hobbit in the family.

Call your dealers “ service dept” on the procedure . Grease type and hours
