Hi dirtsquirt,
yes, lower fitting is a zerk P/No 3B8485, upper is pressure relief P/No 4B4550, most important so as to not blow out and destroy the lip type seals protecting the bearings from dirt and water ingress.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hello edb, ok how many pumps should go into the bottom zerk? Or is there a method for both so the seal doesn't blow?
thanks.

Replied by edb on topic Pumps Needed

The upper fitting (pressure relief valve) takes care of the possibility of over pressurising the seals when using a hand grease gun--Don't use a power operated gun. As soon as grease appears at the relief valve stop pumping. Do not use Molybond type grease on ball/roller bearings, the moly is too slippery and the balls/rollers slide instead of rolling and fail in short order.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

A little caution here:
That only works if the front seal is in good shape (and most aren't). If grease appears around the fan hub quit pumping:)
