grease points disco II
Hi, I have found the three grease points on the front drive shaft and 1 on the rear. I was wondering which grease points (quite a few I am guessing) I have missed. descriptions or pictures would be great. Cheers, John

The only grease fittings that might be on a DII are
4 on the front propshaft - 1 on each u-joint and 1 on the slip joint (this one might have a threaded plug in it that needs to be replaced with a zerk to lube)
2 on the rear propshaft - 1 on the u-joint and 1 on the slip joint (same as the front)
Tie rod ends
This is assuming someone in the past replaced the above parts with units that can be lubed. But those are the only places you need to check for grease fittings.
Other lube points like doors and such are identified in your owner's manual

So you missed one plug on each slip shaft as already mentioned. Pull the plug, thread in a grease fitting, lube it good, remove the fitting and reinstall the plug and your set.
Then inspect the rear rotoflex, looking for cracks between the six bolts, replace if cracks are getting bad.
