Clutch linkage (Z-bar linkage) lubrication?

[mysil bergsprekken]

Do I need to grease up all the parts in the clutch linkage. All the bushings and everything around the z-bar linkage?

Yes, I just use a quality hi-temp wheel bearing grease.

Will do! I plan on using the mopar wheel bearing grease. "New Chrysler ultra-high temperature wheel bearing grease for front wheel bearings".

Interesting. Where exactly do you install the grease fitting??

[A383Wing]

in the middle of the "Z" bar between both ends

[mysil bergsprekken]

Alright. and in which direction does the zerk fitting point? downwards, up, front og back? (when the clutch in not engaged)

[A383Wing]

you can put it any direction that you want....I put mine down so I can get the grease gun hose on it from underneath so when I'm greasing the front end, I'm already under the car

[mysil bergsprekken]

ok. Thanks for your advice! Maybe aiming it towards the rear, if possible hence to clearance, is a good idea. Might be less exposed and not gathering as much dirt. Will look into it.
What fabric is the z bar? (alu, steel?)

[Rolling_Thunder]

Z bar is steel

Good, that will make it easier to install the zerk fittings, compared to when I installed zerk fittings on the windshield wiper pivots.

I thought my Z bar was original and it has a zerk fitting in it already.  Almost dead center with the grease fitting facing 6 o clock straight down.

I just made sure everything was perfectly clean and used plenty of high-quality bicycle grade white grease, with new seals.

someone added it, no zerk fitting was ever factory in the Z-bar any year,,,,,,, that I know of.

Figures.  Well, at least you cant see it when you look in from the engine compartment!

-1 point 

Good idea... I'll have to add one myself....

[resq302]

WHAT?!?!?  A FULL point?  I would have thought that would have been 1/2 point max!
