Greasing front prop shaft a little easier

[Brid]

The Puma front U-joint on the front prop shaft is an awkward thing to grease, so I thought I'd try to find an easier way, instead of the same frustrating way I've always done it.

The access to the nipple is greatest when the nipple sits at 9 O'clock (when viewed from the front), and points to the drivers side wheel. Other positions are more cramped, making it difficult (or impossible) to hold the grease nozzle properly in line.

Once you take the drivers side wheel off, it's very easy to see and access the nipple. Naturally, if you've got a big grease gun, a long flexible tube helps.

Nice one Brid, I have to do mine this week at work, so I'll be using the big grease gun. I do have the choice of either tube or flexible,, (now if I can just work out how to fill the gun and use it properly :angel:)

I always put long nipples into any shafts on any vehicle I own with greasable unis.
