I am just going through the same proceedure with my 400gt.Can you tell me where you got the parts?And a quick description of how you installed them? Thanks so much, Fred PS: Note to everybody -- make sure you keep those particular Zerks filled with grease!Not only does it lubricate, but almost as importantly, it pushes out moisture thus preventing the corrosion George is talking about.Sadly, I did not follow this proceedure over the years, so mine are shot too.:(
