For the rear u-joint there is an extension (or there used to be, mine is =
almost as old as the car) that is smaller diameter but you have to hold =
it tight to the zero fitting. For the slip joint and front joint you =
remove the carpet and the plug in the transmission cover. The slip joint =
zerk needs to be pointing forward. But, the plastic transmission covers =
don=92t come with this hole, so you have to make it. That was my =
experience, maybe newer covers now include the hole.
