LBZ: Idler shaft needed some help

[c20elephant]

My idler shaft needed a little help with very little grease from the factory. Fill the void between the shaft and housing and bearing with grease to keep moisture out and give it a longer life. Used a Moog problem solver hose to bring the grease fitting down to where it is much easier to get to..

That length of hose sure is nice, makes it so much easier to grease!

Oh Mike I didn't pay any attention earlier....is that a super steer idler bracket? I'm guessing you drilled and tapped for the zerk? At first I thought you just removed the zerk and added the hose.

It is a Super Steer drilled and tapped pretty stingy on the grease for a "sealed" unit an a grease cup on top that came off a 70's model car spindle. The bearing was not packed with grease the way I was taught 35 years ago.
