[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 428013, member: 19161"] All I can recommend at this point is to pull the hinge pins (they have an e-ring on the bottom) and grease the hell out of them before you mount it on the your JK. There are no zerk fittings and once you've put it back together and mount it, there's no easy way to do a lube job in the future. The part comes assembled, the hinge side and tailgate side are together when you get it. If you have not read my post describing the issue I'm having, in a nutshell, my tailgate no longer swings freely and easily, and has become a 100lb weight to open. With a 35 on the back, you have to open the gate all the way or the rear window won't clear the tire. I'm 6'6" and 285lbs and I pull the tailgate halfway open, turn and push it the rest of the way. I should get my wife to video that exercise and I'll post it here. Hopefully, I'll have some help and can take everything apart this coming weekend, and I'll get photos of it all. [/QUOTE]
