I just cleaned and painted my front beam. The leaves still had some grease on them so I'm good there. But how much grease should I add? Do I just hit all 4 grease fittings until it starts oozing out somewhere?

Yup, pretty much..just keep pumping until grease oozes out of the joints between the torsion arms and beam. then wipe the excess away

And every time you service too. Go until it pushes out old grease and dirt and runs clean. No need to fill the thing full.
