I'll try to post all eleven of them in larger pics versus the old one I did. Hope it helps better before.

Great pictures! Just goes to show you you can not trust a grease monkey! My H2 has 90K on it and the upper idler (the one in the mirror in your pic) had never been greased. It was replaced at 50K under warranty. I changed it to a 90 degree zerk and am greasing it myself from now on. They have to take the skid pan off to get at this one and that is how they stripped the threads out of the frame with their air gun! The torque on the UCP is only 22 ftlbs according to the service manual.......that is not an impact gun torque.
Thanks for posting again. Bet I am not the only guy in this position!

Excellent thread. I just got to these this weekend, but I wasn't able to figure out how on earth one can get to the one on the upper idler arm. I guess you have to unbolt it to access it? Will change it to a 90 deg zerk then.

These were to be changed out to 90 degree ones by the dealership on the early models when they came in for lube and oil change. I just went ahead and did it myself by un-bolting it and putting a 45 degree in (seen in the picture) since I was doing all my own work on ours.

Good luck, Ed

Interesting. The H2 was serviced by the dealership since new up until about 60k miles. I'm not surprised they didn't change it. I haven't had a good dealership experience yet.

Do you remember the thread size for the replacement? I'm guessing 1/4"? Thanks!

Looked in the garage "automotive junk drawer" (I never throw anything away that I think I may need) and did find a straight out zerk that has a tapered 1/4-28 thread. I would say that would be the correct size.

Good luck, Ed

EDIT: Would need H-109-A
