Can a Venture Landing Gear Leg be Greased
Question:
Is it advisable to add zerk fittings to my lg-177202. It makes a squealing sound when I run it up or down. If so, could I do it myself? Directions ?

Expert Reply:
I do not recommend adding grease zerk fittings to a jack leg that did not originally come with them. drilling holes into the jack could compromise its structural integrity. You would need to open up the jack legs to add grease.
Before adding any grease you will need to make sure that you completely remove any of the old grease. This is because not all greases are compatible with each other, see linked help article.
To open the top you will need to pry the cap off with a screwdriver. Inside there is a washer and thrust bearing the screw goes through (the screw is what makes the jack go up and down). Below that are the gears. The thrust washer and bearing and the gears get grease.
