Where to Grease a Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

Question:

How the heck are you supposed to grease the Curt Q20 trailaer hitch? Ours was installed mid July 2015 and then not used til just recently. Looked on line, but nothing showing how. Thank you for your time.

The Curt Q20 5th wheel hitches # C16536 and # C16130 have grease fittings on them on the underside of the head, left and right side and a grease fitting down between the jaws. I included a picture showing the locations for you. to access the one between the jaws you will need to have the jaws closed.

Black graphite grease is recommended for the jaw pins and the lower bearing assembly jaw. You can use a regular manual grease gun such as # L30200 if you do not have one.

Next, if you have the jaws open you can see a post that connects the jaw to a lower portion of the hitch head. See the other picture I have included. This little pocket also requires grease (it is called the spiral cam pocket).
