Yeah after Harvey I greased my drive shafts on Old Faithful and water got pushed out, then the coffee looking grease followed by my Lucas Red & Tacky. I pumped it until I was happy. Water popped out of the caps on all the joints however I didn't get the new grease to come out of every one of them. I'll just do it again in a few weeks.

To keep the mess down I used an old shop rag & got as much up as possible & then there was just a very small bit slung out after that.

I am going to have to redo it, and bring electrical tape with me. I was able to do it without taking the driveshaft off which I would like to avoid. I don’t enjoy that process.
