I looked online and can't seem to find anything, and was wondering if someone knows how to grease the "zerk fitting" on the axle under the hood in the engine compartment...Matter of fact is it easily accessible?

I just purchased this unit and I can wait to ask the people who installed the unit, but I am anxious in finding out so I don't have to make continual trips to the shop...

I understand the other fitting is in the doghouse on the other end of the axle...Which seems possibly easier...Again no real how to on removing the dog house as well...

I just purchased the CDS 4.8 w/2016 chevy 4.8 I am pleased so far...Especially with the electric vac hose reel...

Who helped? i don't see any answers. One under hood is a bear. you have to rotate shaft from in the van by hand till it's in a position you can access. sometimes you have to unfasten that wire bundle from the firewall cause it gets in the way. there's one on the other u joint in the van. one on the slip yoke on the driveshaft, and 2 for the pillow block bearings. These are hard as hell to get too as well. i had aeroquip hoses made and threaded them in to the zeros, and run them out under passenger seat.. then all you have to do is pump grease in the hoses for the pillow blocks
