    Hello,
    I searched the forum and can't find this specific answer. Can anyone tell me how many total, drive line and other, grease zerks there are on a 2016 tundra? My understanding is there is 5 on the drive line. Any info is appreciated!

    Mine has 5 and that assumes it is 4x4.

    I found 5 on my 2016, SR5, Crewmax (4WD). For several years I could only find 4, but yesterday I found a 5th. It's very difficult to access and it's right above a crossbar.
    The 2nd one from the left can only be accessed if the driveshaft is rotated in just the right position.
    Yes, I used a box of crayons to indicate the location of these zerks.

    A 90 degree fitting makes them much easier to get too.

    Good idea, I ordered 24" hoses and right angle fittings today. Should make that task easier next time.

    Stupid question on greasing u joints. Just pump until you feel resistance or pump till you see grease coming out?

    I've always greased until I started to see grease seeping out. This would be on my Tacoma, not Tundra.

    On that note, can anyone confirm that my '18 Tundra 2WD Crew Max has no zerk fittings at all? Didn't Toyota at some point switch to maintenance free? Was it '18?

    I see the Home Depot has a lumax brand pump. wonder if it’s any good. What about a locking grease gun fitting? I’m good at screwing up so I think this is a must for me.
