Grease fitting for MD40B Motor travel position

There is a lever on each side to lock this motor in the up position for travel. Mine are rusted pretty good and need to be knocked free to be used. I was told there is a potential grease fitting for this and I wanted to see if anybody is aware of where it might be. I have wd-40 and blastered it already. Still pretty tight. I’ll try and get a picture.
 
Do not lock the motor tilt when travelling. That can damage your transom or the transom clamp. Use a transom saver instead, or if the trailer is high enough, leave the motor down. You can add a zerk wherever you like.
 
Again, do not tilt to trailer. The tilt stopper lever was never intended to be greased, it's #19 in the diagram. 002-21049-3_FIG21.jpg
