Front drive shaftproblem

[hkl0000]

I am having problem when I try to grease the front drive shaft, I can't fit the grease gun on there, the one at the very front works fine, but on the side that connect to the diff. won't fit, and I have try it from the buttom, side and from the top, couldn't get the grease gun fit on it.
Does anyone have the same problem? is there any tools do I need for it?

Thank you

I Havnt had that problem.... Long workaround would be to pull the shaft and clean up/replace that fitting...

I had the same thing with my grease gun as well. What I did was to take a grinder and carefully grind off a little bit of material all around the end of the gun and then it fit. It seems that the ends of some grease guns are a little larger than others and it is a tight fit when greasing the drive shafts.

I had the same problem. I'll have to try this grinding idea. Thanks

If there's a problem with the zerk itself I believe you can simply buy a replacement zerk fitting, it should unscrew and you can screw a new one on.

becareful not to make the fitting too thin, it will break, just thin it out a little bit make it like a cone sharp
