    I wouldnt have fitted the Uj's with the grease nipple as they are ment to be a greaseless UJ sort of like a sealed for life unit that doesnt have the grease gallery in it.

    that said.

    I would have filled the cups with 85/140 prior to assembly, it makes a mess but youve then got the right kind of lube in there to start with and I wouldnt have fitted them untill I had them together in such a way as they weren't binding.

    I had thought you were doing the prop shaft UJ's.

    If your in doubt I have a spare set of series front shafts that are in good nick that you're welcome to borrow.

    I ordered them from LVS who knew it was for an oil filled swivel - both of the ones I ordered came with nipples.

    I'll be ****ed if this doesn't work... I have dicked around with this bloody half shaft for months and it turns out that there was nothing wrong with it in the first place.


    Thanks for the offer of a half shaft. bobslandies has a few apparently so I may be able to get one more localy if I need to.

    I have pulled the nipple out - that should get the oil flowing shouldn't it?

    If these universal joints are in oil, would it not be prudent to remove the seals to let the oil in more readily?

    Aaron.

    I did consider that Aaron, but the seal seemed to play an important part in keeping the needle rollers bedded in, so I decided to leave them in situ.

    I like to use "Groil" ie oil so thickened up with grease it is more like yoghurt/babyfood/facecream. And simply add 60% grease and 40% oil to the hub. It will only very slowly leak out a damaged swivel, but still work itself to where its got to go. A solution good for many years, and will only get pulled up if the RW man has had a billious day!
