Hey guys, I didn't really feel this was post worthy but after searching online and on the forum I wasn't able to find anything relevant to my problem.
Problem: Today I greased my u-joints using a grease gun I purchased from NAPA but I was unable to grease the "2nd from the rear" u-joint. My grease gun nozzle seemed to be too thick to squeeze onto the zerk/grease nipple so I had to skip it.
Maybe I'm starting to develop the OCD associated with LC's but I would really like to be able to grease that u-joint. This is my 2nd attempt that I have been unsuccessful at. I tried a while back and would guess that this specific joint hasn't been greased in over 10000 miles.
Is there an adapter that I can use to attach to my grease gun tip/nozzle or do I need to look into removing the drive shaft to grease that joint. I have cruisin off-road skid plates so removing the drive shafts would be a pain. The other 3 joints were able to be greased with no problems at all.
I did find this post about installing u-joints that mentioned if the u-joint isn't installed with care the zerk fitting will not be able to reached. Do you guys think this could be my case? First post, step #3
Thanks,
O'Neill
