The zirks or 1/4" bolts we are referring to here are on the very front of the frame, one on each side, the vertical part that houses the front caster bearings. If there are 1/4" bolts there (takes a 7/16 socket to remove)...simply remove the bolts and screw in grease zirks and grease during routine maintenance.
Thanks, and my neighbor thanks you too.

What was told to me is California require sealed bearing to prevent grease ouzing out of unsealed bearings or leaky nipples polluting waterways.
Those who worry about excess grease, have obviously never been around equipment in the trucking industry!

How would you come into contact with a truck when you live in a 20th floor apartment and work in a 10 story building .

I guess that is why I would be considered an essential worker here.

Like all of those that want to just outright ban glyphosates, they have no idea what that would entail.
