Question:
Do you have to disassemble the pin box for grease or regular maintenance? I read the instructions but just wasn’t clear. Thanks!

Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out!
There is a grease zerk fitting in the top of the pin box that should prevent you from having to disassemble the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR in order to grease it.
