Going really well so far!!

Quick question that grease fitting doesn't fit a normal gun. Can I replace it or is there a different adapter I need for my gun? I know not  ton of grease but a little would be good.

Brakes and actuator arm were rusted solid. .

I think you need a gizmo like this. I actually think it works better than a zerk in tight spaces cause it doesn’t leak grease all over the place.

Don’t forget to light lube cam pivot and contact points too. 

hope this helps

Finally done.
I have to say a shop will do future tires because aarp me can't wrestle tires like 21 year old me.

That said, it just took patience and reading when I got stuck. Everything moves and spins freely, brakes hit nice and work. Front n back done.
