Greasing UJs Problem
Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 6:51 pm
Spring is almost here, and it's time to give the +2 a service. All went well, until I tried to inject grease into the rear UJ on the propshaft, using the built in grease nipple.
I can see grease coming out of two of the joint seals, but nothing from the other two. After several tries and many strokes of the grease gun. the situation was the same. Heating the area with a hot air gun did not help.
I have tried to look under the joint seals but cannot see anything much. There are no nasty rust marks though, and there is no play in the joint as a whole.
Any tips?
