2 x nipples on the steering damper balljoints
1 x nipple on the steering idler (centre-arm bracket)
1 x nipple on transfer gear-change-lever-pivot


And I've got 5 more nipples on my PTO winch set-up (but I think I may have added some of those myself).

I know I've added a further 2 nipples on my bonnet hinges and another 2 on my spare-wheel-carrier.



(Giving the old girl a lube is a big job these days what with the greaseable shackles and greaseable fixed pins as well!)

Maybe there is just one on your drive shafts, but there are 3 on my front DS and 4 on the rear DS. One on each universal joint and one on the slip spline.

This thread shows them well (I think):

Bump. Is there a exhaustive list of all the grease zerks on a stock 40. Or is this list complete?

Where is your owners manual?

Where is your factory Chassis and Body manual?

Glad to see this thread is about grease fittings.
For a minute I Thought it might have been about the obese lady I saw wearing the tank top at the Bar-B-Q joint the other night.
