How do you grease the front ball joints? (1 Viewer)

[Black94Prado]

Hey how do I actually grease the front ball joints on the cruiser? I mean I see there's a threaded fill hole maybe? But it's a 16mm thread so do I need a grease fitting for that? Or do I just pump grease in with a regular grease gun? Sorry I know this is probably s*** simple I just don't know what I'm looking at. I know with G-Wagons turning the wheel all the way one way and then the other exposes the plug where you fill it....

And for timing belt and water pump maintenance, are the marks etched into the metal under the timing cover? Because there's no timing marks in any of the engine schematics so I'm assuming they're visible on the actual cam? The timing belt has 2 marks as well... Just wanna know before it gets pulled apart.

Thanks

Take off the plug and stick your gun in the hole and pump

You only need it about 2/3's full. That's 2/3's plus or minus a lot but just don't overfill it.
