there should be a grease fitting on the center bolt— it not for regular chassis grease,spring line is thin oil (specified as ice machine oil about 75%, talc about 24 %and balance ground asbestos) the talc is a polishing and dry lubricant the asbestos probably can be left out.
the bulletin specified a dedicated grease gun and shaking it before use
No. I used red grease after I replaced all the zirk fittings. I didn't know about the grease that you had mentioned.

Tomorrow, I'll go out and take some pictures of it's stance and post them.
