Lube points May 29, 2012, 01:34:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 130909Greetings,When I purchased my 2006 30IB I was not lucky enough to receive with it a manual for the chassis. Does anyone out there know where the lube points are that should be addressed on the chassis? Service here is not good, so it is a task I would like to learn to handle myself.Thanks, Lydia

Re: Lube points Reply #2 – May 29, 2012, 06:43:08 pm Yahoo Message Number: 130919My 07 came without the Ford users manual also. I went to the support section of Ford web site and was able to down load a PDF of the owners manual. It did not show the lub points (other than the doors and gas cap - not something someone would take a grease gun to). So even though this reply does not help you with the lube points I thought it might be worth mentioning because the owners manual does have other info that could be helpful. As I type this, I was unable to get to the page with the manuals due to a broken link. A month ago when I did access the site I had to have my v

E450 owners should also have the parking brake reservoir's oil level checked periodically.Larry[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] 2 Likes
Re: Lube points Reply #5 – July 03, 2016, 07:53:36 am I definitely want to view the photos of the parking brake lube point. The photo might be 4 years old but is still accurate (unless the bolt migrated...) Thx Mike Lewis
Re: Lube points Reply #6 – July 03, 2016, 11:50:41 am While not a lube point, the parking brake's oil reservoir needs checking. It is next to impossible to find a mechanic the knows anything about it. I suggest printing the photos in the link below and taking them with you to the shop so you can point it out.Parking brake oil fill | FlickrThis brake was used on all V10s until 2008E450s do not come with grease fittings on the ball joints. At a cost of less than a $1 each, have your mechanic permanently install a set and make sure they get a small shot of grease at every oil change. Do not over lube them or the other fittings so not to damage or destroy the rubber dust covers.Larry

Last time I had my oil changed while at the Ford garage for 75,000 mile service, I brought up the parking brake reservoir photos on my computer and asked them to check it. Surprisingly, the service mgr. was aware of it and said it would be checked and told me at pick up that it had been. Hmmm...wonder if I can trust him???Chris
