It was so long ago that I don't remember the details, but I know that I fit it so that it points straight up, where I can get at it with the grease gun in the future. IIRC, there are several nesting tubes and one solid shaft that rotate independently in the pedal cluster. I mounted the Zerk fitting in the outermost one, and drilled a hole in the intermediate one, so that grease would flow into both bearings from that same Zerk. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
