Originals did not have grease fittings; however, most replacements do, so if yours were replaced at one time, there should be a fitting there…  You may need to rotate each axle to gain access to each fitting.  The rear wheel bearings do not have a grease fitting.  If you have not taken yours apart to clean out the old grease and regrease them, you can do it; however, it would take about 2-3 hours.  It can be done in the car by removing the wheels and brake drums, then unbolting the four nuts on the backing plate where the axle bolts on.  This is why there is a big hole where the wheel studs are located so you can rotate the axle around to gain access to all four nuts.  From here you carefully disassemble the bearing, and using plenty of brake cleaner and a tooth brush, flush out all the old grease.  Buy a new tub of the best grease you can find and repack them, then reassemble.  Do you have an extra rear axle with a good bearing in it?  If not, I probably have an extra you could take with you to Michigan if you do not have time to do this before you leave.  I would have to check.  Good luck!  Greg

I am really trying to ensue I do so myself as I know for a fact I have hit the front suspension areas when I changed out the front brakes a while back. The rear is my main concern. Perhaps some direction on what I can do with my grease gun to facilitate my lubricating endeavor before my trip.

I'm planning on driving my newest Corvair acquisition.  I've made this offer in the past, and I will make it again this year.  If you need to place a large order with Clark's and bring me a list and the cash this week, I will gladly place the order for you!  This is a great time to order things like upholstery, carpet, etc., that normally does not go "on sale"; however, you can enjoy 10% off for paying with cash.  We'll see you in Kalamazoo!  Later...
