Yep, just drill a hole and weld a 1/4-24 nut on to accept a grease zerk.

No, I use Nevr Seize. I would like to see a show of hands of those who religiously grease the shafts.

I recently pulled a suspension on a liquifire to replace a hydraulic shock. I had gone through this suspension about 5 years ago and had anti-seized all the shafts at that time. I checked them and they all still moved freely and were easily pushed out. Hope that helps.

Why does this image of the TinMan in Wizard of Oz keep popping up into my head?

I do also it’s good to check those bearing every 2 -3 years while the skid is out . You don’t want to lose a bearing out on the trail

I use never seize.

I have had some with grease fittings. Hardly ever greased them.
