Grease fitting on drive shaft (propeller shaft) U-joint

[cattlerepairman]

In case you need to replace the grease fitting on the drive shaft U-joints:

1/4 -28 short thread, Lincoln type 5010


I had a broken one (could not get the stuck inner part out and I replaced another one and still can't get grease through. I guess the old grease inside has hardened to the point where it won't budge.

At this point I made note of the two joints and will replace them when they go bad.

Get yourself one of the electric "Milwaukee" power grease guns. Mine can put out 10,000 PSI. It will blow out seals if your not careful. Ask me how I know that !
The "Lincoln" powerluber will also put out 10,000 PSI .
