View attachment 579784I removed the front drive shaft from my Crown of Thorns M1009 and cleaned and lubricated the CV joint in the rear of the front drive shaft. If you have not done this I recommend that you do it once a year.
View attachment 579785If you look in the first picture you can see the small round grease port. I sprayed mine with PB Blast and used an old tooth brush to clean the area.

View attachment 579787This is a special tapered needle grease tip to lubricate the CV joint.
View attachment 579788This adapter will snap right on any standard grease gun and enable you to grease the CV joint and prevent it from locking up and possibly causing lose of drive-shaft and breakage of the transfer case and or transmission. It can get that ugly when that joint locks up. I have seen it several times in the past. I wanted to show you how easy it is to maintain the front drive shaft. And if you never did it I would recommend doing it soon. I hope that helps just 1 person save the expense of failure. Thank you for looking. I was doing a right rear axle change on my M1009 today and went over and cleaned and greased everything drive line and steering related. I worked it hard and I always maintain it harder.
