I thought I wrote there was no zerk fitting for you to lubricate
like the Real Jeeps.

Re: 98 Grand Cherokee- tailgate latch gets stuck
Your lock is probably corroded and that is stopping it from
working. You will have to take off the interior door panel
from the tailgate to get at the lock. Much easier if you can
coax the tailgate to open. I've had this experience. Just buy
a new latch mechanism and install it and put the Interior panel back
on...
