Prop shaft UJ lubrication

A while since I did this job, its awkward and messy.

The only way I can get on the prop-shaft universal joint grease nipples is with a needle style grease gun adaptor.


After lots of fiddling, depress the nipple ball bearing with the point of the gun and squeeze until the 'crack' and a little ooze indicating the UJ is full. Rear under the disassembled handbrake half-moon,

Front,

Healthy amount of oil in the tunnel, my diff slowly drips some out perhaps half a cup a year and keeps the tunnel area happily lubed. Visual inspection of  all the fuel lines/cables and diff flange bolts while the covers were off - all still secure, attached and no sign of chafing.
