If he has the OE prop-shaft he can't grease it, hence the assumption it was "greasable".

You are right though, he did not indicate.


IF he has the stock propshaft, he needs to ditch it ASAP as mileage and age will have dried the grease and he risks explosion and tranny damage.


His choice would be another OE-sealed shaft (good for another 100k miles or until it explodes, whichever comes first) or a serviceable prop-shaft which takes more work and upkeep, but in return you'll more than likely get an indication of failure with the possibility of repair before anything catastrophic (and expensive) happens.

 

It could be an OE propshaft rebuilt with greaseable u-joints (considering that most probably have been by now). Or it could be the rear propshaft he's talking about.

Now that I think about it, he may be trying to use a standard grease gun tip on a flush center head fitting, or even a flush u-joint fitting. Overall the OP is vague.

 

Try wiggling the grease gun nozzle around a little bit on the zerk, while pulling the trigger. If grease doesn't come out of the zerk, replace the zerk....

 

This is another example of someone posting a new topic question (needing desperate help usually), then comes a bunch of advise they asked for, and then we are left hanging for who knows how long because the OP doesn't post there findings....Inter-web mechanics!! hahaha

 

Yeah, pretty common.
I really like the Debian forum I'm on, protocol is to come back and edit your title to prepend [SOLVED] if you got the problem fixed, and what exactly fixed it. Let's people know it's a thread worth reading if they are having the same issue.

 

No a whole lot different than a thread ending in "PM me so I can tell you what the answer is."

 

We should have a sticky stating just that. Edit you title with "Problem Solved", I am going to go back on my posts and edit if they are useful.

 

Push it really hard forward toward the fitting and wiggle it side to side.
This may take 4 to 5 tries.

Then finally you'll pump and see no grease at the zerk and finally out the edges of the joints.

You need to be using a solid delivery stem and not a rubber hose delivery.
