    Wet bolt size

    Going to get to spend some time with the 350M this weekend and anxious to see if my wet bolts are wet! In the event I need to remove and rotate one in order to get it to take grease, does anyone know the size of wrench/socket I need? There's a huge disadvantage not having your rig at home! Tia

    Bolt head was 13/16" and the nut end 11/16". Found many of them way over-torqued as someone cranked them hard to pull the serrated part of the bolt into the shackle or cam plate.

    Update...discovered none of my zerks were greased! Shock I know lol...anyway only had 2 I couldn't get to take grease, I'll have to work in them later, and there was 1 that didn't have a zerk, simply a hole. But to my surprise I was able to get grease through it by pressing the grease ftg flush over the hole and pumping the gun. It flowed easily out both ends!.

    No grease....surprise. LOL. I would install a fitting next time your at your rig. It will help keep dirt and grime buildup out. I feel your pain with not having the rig next to the house. It's such a PITA to go work on my trailer while it is in storage. I hate dragging around a floor jack in gravel .

    Exactly! Dusty loose gravel is no way to work on a rig..Btw, for those who've done it, how do you deal with the spring tension when you remove the bolt to rotate/inspect it to get grease in it? Does it drop or spring up, and how hard is it to line back up to reinstall? I have the 2 still I have to address. Tia

    Ideally you jack up the frame to the "sweet spot" where the spring stays neutral (ish)

    Pulled my first bolt and bushing today that wouldn't take grease. The bolt and PLASTIC bushing were totally shot. The hold in the bolt was either completely plugged with debris or not drilled in the first place. It sure would have been nice if Lippert or GD had lubricated the parts before they hit the road, or at least told us how to maintain them. Grrrrrrrrr! I'm going to pull every suspension component and probably replace it all, including the Equa-Flex.
