Default Re: Greasing waterpump rear fitting

That cone shape at the end of the threads is the grease fitting and the grease gun that came in the tool kit fits it nicely. I also use the same Mystik JT-6 high temp grease for this fitting that I use on the rest of the fittings. I just give it a very short stroke of the grease gun.

My fan belt is only tight enough so the fan and generator don't slip when the lights are on, so there is very little side pressure on the rear water pump bushing. It may well last my lifetime with but a tiny squirt of grease once a year or every couple thousand miles.
