Grease Points ???

[Kahuna]

Thanks ALL!!

I just greased my nipples! There's a better way of saying that. Just greased my U-joints and drive shaft.

Your right, was very easy to do...5 minutes at most. The hardest part about it had nothing to do with the actual process but trying to load the grease cartiridge into a grease gun. Just could'nt seem to get the cap closed. After 10 minutes on that, I was ready to work.

AGAIN THANKS

Hi, has anyone had as much trouble as I have with greasing the drive shaft (center nipple)?? The U-joints were a breeze... but the zirk for the drive shaft keeps spitting out the grease. I have a good connection with the grease gun... just keeps resisting. Any tricks?

Silver Bullet,
You have a zirk fitting that has become stuck open because dirt has gotten between the little spring loaded ball & the opening it sits in. You can try to dislodge it w/ a dental pick, which leaves the offending dirt particle to wreak havoc w/ driveline components. OR you can go to the parts store & get a new zirk fitting, which is the better solution IMO. That's why it's important to wipe your nipples clean before you grease them...& even then, you can still experience the dreaded "stuck nipple syndrome".

Good luck, Ldub

as a matter of f act I did this today...only I have 4 Sway bar zirks, 4 rear drag bar zirks, 4 Tierod zirks, and the three driveline/ujoint zirks. I made sure a long long time ago that I had the right grease pump as well as all the different type fittings and heads.
