chassis lubrication - 3/12/2008 11:07:44 AM    sh1520 Posts: 33 Joined: 6/12/2007 Status: offline OK all- since I've started doing my own oil changes, instead of going to quicky lube, I haven't lubed the chassis yet. I bought a grease gun and some all-purpose grease, but the Haynes manual is pretty vague on what and how to do this. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate it!

Heck, if it looks like a zerk, I squirt it. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to sh1520) Post #: 3

How do I grese those? Just squirt around or on w/  the gun? _____________________________ "Hello, I''m Mr. Mechanically DE-clined!" 1996 Chevy Blazer 4wd 4.3l Vortec Auto 4 door/146,500 miles and counting! http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa145/sh1520/100_0157.jpg (in reply to rriddle3) Post #: 4
