How in the world is this done? I've taken the 2 bolts out that hold the idler to the frame and I still can't get in there?
 
Does yours have a 90 degree zerk? It pretty much has to have one to reach it.

If you don't have one a rubber grease hose for your grease gun it might make all the differenc to you. Any auto parts house should have a rubber grease arm.

Hah hah -- wait till you try to get at the zerk on the sliding spline on the propshaft.

I keep an assortment of grease gun attachments for narrow spots (some U-joints), right-angle attachment (said propshaft) and needles (for sneaking where no gun was supposed to go).

I've seen guns with rigid tubes instead of rubber -- no idea how that would be good.
