OK, I'm getting a little bored with once a month having to grab a can of WD40, and hose down the bar ends in my Z-Bar.
Especially with the rear header an 1/4 INCH from the mounting ball, burning away the lube in super speedy time. And believe me, it gets annoying when the clutch pedal starts to get jerky when you first start the car/truck....
I have seen and read that the Z-Bar is a "maintenance item" with a grease fitting, but I have run my up and down that bar, and I just CAN NOT find a Zerk fitting to pump grease into. Isn't there supposed to be a Zerk on a Z-Bar??? I provided a pic of my Z-Bar, and as you can see, no Zerk on top, and I promise I have run my hand under it a dozen or more times. Is it possible a Zerk is just millimeters out of my grasp?
Is there supposed to even be a Zerk fitting to grease the Z-Bar? If anyone is familiar with this issue, please advise....because at this point, if I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out.
Oh.....1981 El Camino with a Factory Saginaw 4-Speed, and a 229 Chevy V6 replaced with a SmallBlock.
