The repair kits are greaseable or non-greaseable. Which you use depends on the center head. Stock DII front propshafts have non-greaseable center heads, that's why you use a 7-0081NG kit when rebuilding.

thanks spike..
See, I bought a DI so I dont have to worry about it.
Just lube all four u-joints at every oil change or after deep wading and forget about it.
The original u-joints lasted 180,000 miles before I replaced them because they would no longer take grease.
I feel bad for you DII guys.
Vandev-your rants are hilarious. I too have wondered if someone could fashion a "deflector shield" to keep the driveshaft from popping a hole in the side of the transmission when the double cardon fails.
