13 maintenance locations?

[Jon March]

a common quote i see repeated regarding these cars is

"after operation in water, required greasing at 13 points, one of which required removal of the rear seat."

Is this true?

(i think youre also supposed to dry your brakes with a long drive too?)

Drying the wheel bearings is most important. Our guru says to drive at least a distance of 45 miles.

i cant imagine driving a minimum of 45 miles each time i come out of the water!@#$

>> what are these "13 grease-points - one of which requires removal of the rear seat"
?

All of them are mentioned in the user manual booklet.
Under the rear seat are two at the propeller shaft u-joints and after removing the two tunnel boots at the inner drive shaft u-joints.

Usually i drive only 25 miles after swimming. Most of the cars here are trailer queens, that is not so good. Some people here change wheel bearings every year.
