Hoping to get it installed soon. I could use 2-3 mpg driving 1,000+ miles a week!!!!

That's going to save you a lot of money.

A 3 mpg increase is an improvement of about 10%.

That's cash right in your pocket.

Only issue I see with above method is you would be hard pressed to get grease down into the outer can....

If you can get the Grease inside of a Grease Gun you can stick the Hose of the Gun Down inside the Can.

You could also stick one of those Needles that you can shove into the end of the Grease Gun and that will go even further back.

If you want to take more trouble you can attach a Zerk Fitting to one of those long Air Gun Needles and that will reach way back inside.

The large clamps in the Febri kit are too big to tighten down. The tightening screw goes through a fold in the clamp metal, and then into a square nut. I made a second fold to take up some slack, and drilled a clearance hole through the two layers of clamp metal. Seems OK.
