    Evening All

    just read the whole thread and did not see and reference to the lubeing of the shaft splines itself.

    there is the 1/4" UNF nipple to install, pump and then remove, but has any body pulled the shaft apart to clean the old grease and dirt out?

    is it possible to pull the shaft apart like an agricultural PTO?

    what grease are you using?
    I intend to use Thixogrease

    whilst pumping new grease in to it comes out, purging, this doesn't get all the old grease out and in some cases can cause a reaction between the grease to the point of metal failure (not the whole cause but an MD80 Alaskan Airways crashed off California due grease intermixing)

    I am considering pulling the front prop shaft and doing the job on the DC joint and if taking out off that far, sliding the shaft apart and cleaning it and repacking with new grease

    OK another report on my front shaft, after replacing mine at 150,000ks for the 3rd time with the greasable unis on the double carden this time, with 275,000ks on the clock, it has failed, BUT, this time it's the single uni on the diff that has failed the double carden, by eye anyway, looks fine, amazing really, so there ya go, a good news story for greasable unis on the double carden

    Both of the replacement Factory but Greaseable front shafts on my D2 have failed...

    Thats 3 shafts in 135,000 km

    The upgraded Hardy Spicer on the Defender is still going strong I believe (BlkNight ???)

    The D2 is now getting a 1310 upgrade.

    Shipping was around $200 when I emailed them a while back. I ended up grabbing one from Procomp (JeepKonnection) in Melbourne as it was only about 80$ more and they got it to me for the next day.

    I also have joined the Club. 187000klms and only been lifted (45mm) about 2 months. Probably accelerated the problem.

    Psimpson7- what length or model/part number did you get??
