Reese Goosebox / 5th Airborne Question

Question for those with either the Goosebox or 5th Airborne pin box. How much difficulty do you have pulling maintenance on the hinge point pin? I have not seen one of these pin boxes in person, but see no evidence of grease zerk fittings for lubrication of what is obviously a high friction area.

The Goosebox is now being built as a Gen 3 version with the air fitting in the very top of the air bag accessed via a hole in the top of the main beam much like the 5th Airborne. This location will be a show stopper for some due to difficulty of pressurizing while hitched up. Access will not be an issue with my bed setup, but I do have reservations on ability to lubricate hinge points without resorting to disassembly with a large drift punch.


I'm not interested in a TrailAire style due to exposed components and well - aesthetics, but I will be getting a air cushioned hitch as doing so just makes good sense to me. input from others with the Reese units would be appreciated.
