Re: Adding grease fittings
One area I think Henry did overlook for greasing is the E-brake shafts on the rear wheels. Many owners don't use the E-brake when parking and the shafts can go for years without moving. Quite often you find E-brake carriers with the shaft frozen in the tunnel. Trying to remove it can cause the tunnel swaging to break loose from the carrier.
Attached article appeared in the Victoria Bustle a few years ago. Installing grease fittings on the ends of the two E-brake shafts is not difficult, best accomplished during a brake job.
