Do these links come pre-greased or do they need to be greased during install?

They have grease "zerks" so they grease themselves during use, but I greased them when I installed them just to be safe.

They do have grease where the joint is. Be sure the rubber boot is covering the joint.

Yes however the directions state to make sure to add more grease after installing the links just to make sure they have a sufficient amount of grease.

Not sure but you do need to install the grease fittings. My mechanic installed them

they come slightly pre-greased, but need to be topped off once installed with the zerk fittings in order to properly fill the boot with grease

Also, I would suggest having a lubricant like WD-40, bar soap etc. as not all of the pre marked screw holes are exactly where they need to be. The lubricant helps the screw go in a little better. But watching the you tube video on assembly is a GREAT help to see how it is done.

There are several really good videos on how to install these, plus there are good written instructions in the package. First the "expander" pods go into the end of the handlebar WITHOUT LUBRICANT, separately from the levers. Use a hex wrench to tighten by turning COUNTER-clockwise to tighten. Then attach the levers. Then insert the cable housings into the levers (very easy). Then insert the cables into the housings after putting lever into a certain position (instructions included) to expose the cable hole. No lubricants are necessary but I always rub white teflon grease onto all of my cables before insertion, sparingly - probably not necessary but I do it to prevent rust. Use electrical tape to hold the cable housings in position before wrapping the handlebar tape. Check out the u-tube videos after Googling bar-end shifters.

Comes with adhesive preinstalled. But it is convenient to have spare adhesive if needed.

They come pre-gapped. Mine had a sleeve over the threaded section that extended to cover the electrode. Pretty fragile in the electrode area that's why gapping is not recommended. My 2008 FLHTCU (Ultra Classic ) runs great on these. Have in excess of 15,000 miles on them.

The barrel nut doesn't come with grease. It comes in a small Ziploc-type bag pre-oiled but not greased. I applied never-cease on the threads in case I ever need to remove the nut. Hope this helps.

Basically older bikes have ballbearings in the fork tube. This is an alternative that consists of sealed bearings so there's no fuss with grease.

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent

You shouldn't have any issues, you'll need to pre drill, and use a high quality silicone sealant during installation.

If you are using the stock heatsink then thermal compound is already applied in the packaging. If you are using an aftermarket heatsink, then you definitely want to make sure to use some if it doesn't already have it on it.

No, they are ready to install. Just spray them with brake cleaner and wipe them off with shop paper towels. It cleans off any coatings used in shipping to prevent rust.

It does come with some grease in. As I installed I add just enough grease to see some emerge from gaps - its is not a certain amount of pumps. Wipe with rag and should be good to go.

Dude use force to turn the screws in. Of course its a tight fit cause its only supposed to be done once and thats it ya know. Its not intended fpr those screws to come out. Dont put soap on them or oil just screw the suckers in.

I use a lithium spray just around the pivot point, I imagine any actual grease is going to be quite messy

Tona Plue,We believe what you are describing are tool-free mounting clips for the drives. To make certain that drives are adequately secured for shipping, we do use screws when installing them, instead of the mounting clips. We include them in the hardware packet you received, so that if you wish to switch to them, you may.

I did not have to remove mine when I installed them. I watched some videos on YouTube that helped me.
