Hey guys, here's an easy one. Never had a LC or any vehicle with this type of front end. My manual says to lube the knuckles every 5k with oil change. So, is it talking about opening the plug on top and adding lube there? If so, with what a spoon or tongue depressor? Or, Am I missing something here. Some of us start really low on the ladder!
 
The 80 series uses moly grease in the knuckles, not oil and you can add it easily through the filler plug with one of these if need be....http://www.wilko.com/cake-decorating/wilko-icing-syringe-set/invt/0140132
The 70 series may be different. If it specifies oil then it'll probably be diff/axle oil or maybe moly oil which comes in bottles with spouts anyway. What oil is specified in the owner's manual/service guide?
 
My bad. I should have with every oil change in the engine, you should lube (grease) the knuckles. That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you from the bottom rung on the ladder!
