1. Jack up the front - Jack under the centre of the lower crossmember - handbrake on and chocks under wheels - Elf and Safety and all that !
2. Put axel stands under each side about 6 inches in from the wheel at each side to give you some room to manoeuvre
3. Get a good grease gun with a flexible nossle - add some grease
4. Find each nipple - should be two on each side, top and bottom of the springy pin bit
5. Locate the end of the grease gun on the nipple - sometimes a bit fiddly to get on and off
6. Squirt until you see the grease beginning to push out
7. Wipe any excess off with a piece of card and wipe some of it under the join where the damper blade meets the chassis
8. Have a nice cup of tea
Fail - front end greasing is best done at the normal levels, so no need to jack up.
1. Open bonnet.
2. Place grease gun on remote nipple
3. Pump 3 times
4. Lower bonnet
5. Repeat for other side
6. Reward yourself for the time saved with tea and hobnobs.. Or go for a drive
Neither I nor Spanner Juggler recommend a remote kit. Simpler, less wasteful to just grease directly and you stand a chance of spotting anything abnormal. But I do agree with a cup of tea bit and the idea of a 'test drive'. After all, you do have to make sure all is well...
