How to lube 280 gimbal.

[redjmp]

I can see a brass tube with a brass cap on the top of the bell housing but no zerk to attach a gun.
Just the bare threaded tube when I unthread the cap.
How do I force grease down the tube?
Is there a special fitting?

Most of the bearings on the Volvos were sealed style inside the housings. If you have an inline engine there is only 1 bearing. If you have a V 8 then there are 2 bearings. You can remove the brass fitting and replace it with a Zerk style but it may be a waste of time. Replace the drive shaft bellows and those bearings will last a long time as long as water does not get to the bearings. EN2 Nunez. IWO JIMA LPH2, SEDGWICK COUNTY LST 1123
