Grease

How in the hell does anyone get the rear grease fitting on the front driveshaft? I got the needle thing and got the front knuckle now i cant get any angle to get the rear front driveshaft knuckle Any help?

You will need this adapter. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4ZT25



Credits to Dodds on this one, he hooked a brother up!

ah ha i have one but it is just straight i guess its time to go to grainger or maybe discount will have one

Thanks Clay for the "tip"- My order is placed...

Mine too. Already broke a straight one trying to bend it to get it to work.

a company i used to work for i stup a grainger account to get discounts and loggged in and it would cost me $11.49 instead of $13.42 haha suckers i can still use thier discount

No kidd'in.......gezzzzzzz

Hell shawn , just pull the front Drive shaft and turn the joints to
the side. and grease with a regular grease gun. it only takes
a min.... 3 bolts in front diff. pull it foward a little shaft falls out.
it is simple about 30 min. its very easy.


Chris......

I'd been meaning to get one a those for months and decided I might as well join the crowd and get one ordered up today. Went through all the 'sign-up' crap, loaded the Cart, and well, crapadoodle. I cut up all my credit cards 'cept Discover and the F'ers don't take it.

well chris while thats an option i dont want to do that everytime so might as well buy this little part to make it easier for times to come

I had just excepted the fact that it would never get greased.

You dont have to grease the shaft that often......

Shawn , the bolt in the front of the diff. is a bolt with a nut on the other
side slide it out. then there is a bolt on each side that threads into the diff.
pull them out. grab the houseing and pull it forward about 2 inches or so. and pull
the shaft. grease both joints and put shaft back in the rear. line the front up.
keep the yokes in line with front and back. slide it back in. line diff up.
put bolts back in. wa la your done.....
