Having just help two friends replace the half shafts in thier
Tr-6's this past couple of weekends with new ones from the TRF I have a
suggestion.
When I did mine 5 years ago I added a grease fitting to the
neck of the out shaft where it just starts to get fat. The new ones from TRF
now come with this grease fitting. So the suggestion is to add a fitting and
when you have it all back together hit it with a couple of shots of grease
till it comes out the back near the u-joint, Also drill a small hole in the
cover at the back of the spline ares to expell the grease.
Also note if any
one needs to order new halfshafts, you no longer need the rubber boots at the
top or on the shaft as there is no way they will fit. These shafts are on the
principal as the drive shaft slide piece.

How Much to Use?
Bob---I don't think one can over-pack this area. Still,
there's no need to have excess. So I just brush the molygrease on and into
the male splined half, and using the same stiff brush, reach into the female
side as far as possible, to paint around these splines. There will be some
excess, pushed back into the recess, as well as some squeezing to the outside.
Not much heat generated in this area, so what grease is applied should stay
put.

Subject: [6pack] Axle Grease - How Much to Use?
Folks.....when reassembling
the two halves of a TR6 axle, how much grease do
you pack in there? Do you
just coat the splines or do you pack it in so that
a bunch squishes out when
you press the two halves together?
Thanks
