hope you got this done, you may not be stuck in an extreme situation like i was, my upper neck bearing cage shattered when i was in Bolivia at 9000 feet in a tiny village of around 500 people, i had to fill it will crazy amounts of grease and ride for another 8000 miles until i could find a replacement - grease it now it takes five minutes

i was told that it is a regular issue of minimal greasing in certain areas
