No grease hole in gimbal bearing

[PatrickBoyle]

I purchased the Mercruiser OEM bellows kit that includes the bellows, gimbal bearing and all seals. The gimbal bearing that came with it does not have a grease hole (yes I've spun the tolerance ring all the way around). Have they changed the design or did a get a dud?

Yes, they are now sealed bearings. You should also have a plug in the kit to replace the zirk on the gimbal housing.

Thanks Don. SO relieved I don't have to return this kit!
