Hello,

My Healey is nearing completion and after installing the driveshaft I tried
to grease the U-Joint only to find the nozzle on my grease gun is too large
to fit into the u-joint. Is there a grease gun with a narrow nozzle or a
narrow nozzle extension? I replaced the u-joints and used the grease
fittings that came with the new joints. Should the grease nipples (zerk
fitting) be changed to the longer ones?

Thanks... Harold
