Alloy Wheels and Access to Bearings Question
Looking at the newer model TM that now come with Alloy Wheels how do you access the grease fitting to service the bearings. The alloy wheels have a chrome hub cover that covers the hub. Is there a removable center part of the hub cover that comes off to provide access? Or do you have to remove the entire wheel to access and service the bearings???

Currently have an '08 2619 and am know the sequence of greasing the bearings. My question is on the new alloy wheels with the chrome center hub is there a way to access the zert fitting through the the chrome center hub OR do you have to remove the wheel. I am taking delivery on a new 2720 Silver Trail and need to know.

The flat end cap snaps off the chrome hub but on mine you have a rubber piece built into the hub, At least it looks like that , if you push on the rubber you can feel a grease zert under the rubber. I'm just as stymied as you, anybody???

You should be able to pop off the rubber cover with a screwdriver, exposing the grease fitting. Try not to damage during removal so you can replace it.

Thank you for that, thought about removing the rubber cover but was a little hesitant.
