1st time i got 20 strokes, this year about 5 you can feel it go firm, at least on mine,

 

[wizzer59]

Can you nip around and do mine while your at it

 

[Lenny HB]

Only supposed to put 5-6 pumps of the grease gun any more and you can pop the seal out on the end of the axle.

I do not know the answer but having just done mine I just kept pumping until I felt resistance on grease gun always done it like that ! would be interested in definitive answer Alco do not say as far as I know

I got my info from the Al-Ko website when I was looking at doing mine.

 

[Al-Di]

BUT, there always is one, when was it last done, in my case i dont think it ever had been as paint still on nipples,

 

[Lenny HB]

Lucky it hadn't sized would have cost you a couple of grand.

The axle must be jacked up before greasing with wheel off the ground. Bit of a job on tag systems. did our Burstner every year

I have cart springs on my 99 Adria....Does that mean its not an Alko and I dont need to grease???

 

[wizza]

If you have leaf springs they don't need greasing
