Haynes recommends installing grease fittings: "remove the plug ... and
substitute a grease nipple .... give several strokes with a grease gun
filled with EP90 oil not grease."
Does any one else do this? I was looking at mine last night... it looks
like the PO used grease... I guess I can force a little oil in there.
