While getting ready for the season, I was greasing the swivel bracket on the motor (has a grease zurk about midway down the length of the bracket with the motor titled up slightly) . I used a grease gun to try and lube the upper and lower bear ings in that bracket. The grease came out of the bottom bearing area, but no matter how much grease I pumped, i could not get grease to come out of the upper bearing. The motor swival and steers fine, i just want to grease it properly.
I used Evinrude triple guard in my grease gun. (much of it now in the waste basket) It appeared that some grease was trying yo come out of the top, but it all just oozed out of the lower bearing.
Does this indicate that I have a bad seal on the lower bearing or that the bearing needs replacement? How big a job is replacing the lower bearing?
I looked at the Evinrude diagram and couldn't tell if I am missing a hidden zurk somewhere that lubes the upper bearing.

Thanks for any insight
