Grease fitting on axle hubs for 3400RL's
Greetings everyone. My question pertains to a beat up subject here on MOH...but my question is different.
My wife and I purchased a 2008 3400RL several months ago and are about to make our first lengthy trip. While doing my pre-trip maintenance and checks I was applying one squirt of grease to each hub when I encountered a problem that has not been discussed.
I have a normal pistol grip grease gun with a normal grease coupler. I was able to apply the coupler to the grease fitting and give one squirt of grease just fine. However, my problem happened when I tried to remove the coupler from the grease fitting...I could not without applying great (I mean great) force.
Does anyone know what the normal size for the grease fitting is so I can purchase the correct sized coupler? I think it is 1/4" but not sure. BTW...I plan on getting the wheel bearings hand packed before our next trip in December.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me.
