Update on the driveshaft grease fitting. Little did I realize when I
replaced the u-joints early in the rebuild process the grease fittings in
the new u-joints would be metric. M6x1. I tried the original longer grease
nipples but the threads don't match. Will try to source longer metric lon
6Mx1 on-line.
I would recommend getting longer grease nipples when buying a new u-joint
or making sure the old grease nipples will fit.

>=C2=A0 Hello,<br>
>=C2=A0 <br>
>=C2=A0 My Healey is nearing completion and after installing the drivesh=

>=C2=A0 tried to grease the U-Joint only to find the nozzle on my grease=
gun<br>
>=C2=A0 is too large to fit into the u-joint. Is there a grease gun with=
a<br>
