FWIW. you can remove the entire assembly as a unit with shock and all linkages after pulling the swing-arm. Best to relieve air pressure and don't forget to detach that line where it mounts to the frame. The workbench is a much easier place to spray WD40 onto seized pivotal unions. After soaking, you'll have a better chance of disassemble without damaging seals and finish. The assembly-line grease dries, turning to a hard paste which resists disassembly. After links comes apart, the seals can usually be worked out carefully without damage. This will give you access to scrape out any seized grease with a sharp wooden or plastic probe before saturating bearings with WD40 for removal. Try not to let the rubber seals and accordion boots soak or they will soften and expand.

You'd probably seen Frans's Zerk fitting solution while viewing his inter-cooler 'How to'. http://www.750turbo.com/forum/viewtopic ... 29&t=14288

No opinion on this specific application BTW. In automotive/truck applications, old grease can escape past boots while re-greasing.

Marine greases provide better life-cycles to extend service intervals verses installing fittings IMO.
