We have discussed this problem zerk before on this forum but my wife pointed out something interesting today.
As I was cussing out that zerk this morning, my wife, who had been watching for a while said, "wouldn't that be easier if you took off those hydraulic couplers?"
So I handed her 2 wrenches.
She called my bluff and removed the 2 bolts holding the bracket fairly quickly.
Sure enough, that did allow me to snaking my arms underneath the radiator and get to that fitting much easier.
The last service was particularly difficult because I couldn't get the grease gun off that zerk fitting for a long time. With the couplers out of the way that was also less of an issue because I could wiggle the grease gun fitting more and it popped off easier.
As a reminder, she even wrote that into the manual so I wouldn't forget to remove the couplers for the next service.
