Grease Points ???

[SilverBullet75]

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.
