Greasing Deiveshaft Question

Hi, possibly. You should note whether the grease emanates from all of the UJ's you are greasing and if not wrap an electrical tie wrap tightly around those where the grease is flowing out too freely but don't forget to remove them afterwards. Greasing UJ's has gotta be one of the worst jobs on a D2.

Grease is just such a pain in the *** to cleanup. Thanks for the thoughts guys.

If you live in a cold climate region, keep your grease gun in a warm location or at least bring it in the house for a few hours prior to using. This will help immensely, pumping stone cold, almost rock hard grease through a zert can to mighty difficult. Once the grease is in there, the spinnning motion and heat generated will move grease to the cups of the u-joint.
Being religious about doing it helps too. Every 3 or 4 thousand miles, depending on conditions, will keep fresh grease suspended in the cups and not allow it to become hard and baked onto the needle bearings inside joint.

Problem is CollieRover the grease will take the 'least line of resistance' and so continue to ooze out of the nearest UJ to the zerk in most cases and no matter how much grease you pump into the UJ zerk it will never lube all the legs of the remaining UJ's in many cases and all it does is waste oodles of grease onto the floor.
