The 

EZ Greaser® lubrication system is designed to lubricate 8, 14, 

or 16 points from a single fitting—all at the same time from one 
convenient location.  The 

EZ Greaser ensures that you are getting 

the proper amount of lubricant to each fitting – every time.  Each 
kit comes complete with the items necessary for installation so 
you can get back on the road quickly and stay on the road.

IMPORTANT:  Pre-grease all lube points before installing the 
system.  Make sure that each lube point will accept grease from a 
grease gun with minimum effort.  This system can deliver grease 
at pressures up to 1500 psi.  If a fitting requires extreme effort to 
inject grease, it must be fixed before attaching the 

EZ Greaser to 

that point.

NOTE:  Do not plug any outlets on the EZ Greaser block.  The 
block will not operate correctly.

INSTALLATION

Verify the number of lubrication points and locations and 

1. 

inspect to ensure lube points will accommodate use of the 
included threaded fittings. Optional press-in fittings are 
available from your EZ Greaser Distributor.  See vehicle layout 
on page 3.

Install mounting plate either by welding or bolting to a spot 

2. 

that allows easy access to the grease fitting on the top of 
the block and within ten (10) feet of the furthest lube point.  
Mount block to the mounting plate

Remove all the existing grease fittings from the points to

be attached to the EZ Greaser and replace with fittings 
according to the diagrams for the specific kit.

Prepare tubing:

4. 

Cut the outside sheath on multi-tube bundles back to 

a. 

the point where this bundle meets the first lube point.  
Be careful not to puncture or cut the tubes.  Use a 
“Romex” stripper to help prevent this damage.

Peel back the outside sheath rolling it back on itself 

b. 

and cut off the excess.  Be careful not to nick or cut the 
remaining tubes.

Align tubing with fitting and make a clean square cut 

c. 

with an anvil style cutter.

Using the included diagrams, route the tubing lines to 

5. 

the appropriate points following the color scheme on the 
diagrams.  Bundle tubes together when routing tubes from 
the block to the lube points.  Use wire ties every 6-8 inches 
and anchor to the frame and steering components making 
sure the tubes move with these objects.  This will assure that 
the tubes stay in place under normal operating conditions.

IMPORTANT:  Allow ample slack for tube movement and ease 
of installation.  A self-aligned captured ferrule is supplied 
with all 3/16" fittings.  It is not necessary to remove the nut 
and ferrule to seat the tube into the fitting.  Care should be 
taken to make sure the tube is well seated into each fitting 
before tightening.

Attach the Orange tube from the Tri-tube bundle to the Upper 

6. 

King Pin grease fitting.  Attach the Blue tube to the Lower 
King Pin grease fitting.  Attach Black tube to Tie Rod grease 
fitting. This fitting should be pointing towards the rear of the 
vehicle and on a 45° angle toward the inside centerline of the 
vehicle.  Repeat for other side of the vehicle.  Do not attach 
grease tubes to hydraulic brake lines.

Attach single Black tubes to front and rear Drag Link grease 

7. 

fittings.  Allow for movement of the arm.  Be sure to secure 
the line to the steering arm so that line moves when steering 
the vehicle but does not rub or slide against frame, shock 
absorber or steering components.  Tubes and steering 
components should move as one (1) unit.

Attach other tubes to spring pins and spring hangers as 

8. 

required.

OPERATING  INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the dust cover protective cap from the grease fitting 
on the divider module. Ensure the fitting is free from dirt and 
contamination and connect a grease gun or low volume power 
grease gun to the grease fitting.  Pump a manual gun one time 
for each lube point in the system: 8 strokes for 8-point system, 
14 strokes for the 14-point system, and 16 strokes for a 16-point 
system.  Wipe off the end of the fitting and put the protective cap 
back onto the fitting.  Repeat every 2-3 weeks or more often when 
operating the vehicle in wet or high dust environments to flush out 
contaminants with fresh grease.
