    Pry the metal end cap off metal cap off with a screwdriver. Then carefully pry the rubber cap off. You'll find a grease fitting behind it! (https://us.v-cdn.net/6030201/uploads/editor/s1/95cox4gwdj52.jpg "")

    I had a 2017 T@G and greased once a year. I Gently pried off the hub cap then I removed the black rubber cover gently with a small screw driver. Be careful reaching in once the rubber seal is removed. The edges can be sharp. I use a high temp grease, put the nozzle of the grease gun onto the grease fitting and pump in while rotating the tire clockwise. Once the old grease is pushed out and the new grease starts to comes out then it is complete.

    Just an FYI: nuCamp recommends Valvoline GM Multipurpose to grease the bearings. Whatever you use, stick to a lithium complex grease.
