[6pack] 6pack Digest, Vol 84, Issue 8

Wed Feb 23 12:49:18 MST 2022

I've always heard it's impossible to grease those 2 u-joints, unless you have a hole cut in your wishbones at just the right place. I suppose it's obvious that you'd want to just replace them during a hub rebuild.

All,In light of machining a hole in the trailing arm does anyone have a dimension to do this?  I have extra Trailing arms and may look into this and then put in a rubber plug when not servicing.

I've always had trouble greasing the ujoint that joins the rear hub and the drive shaft. Access is quite limited and I cant see the grease  nipple.    Advice or tricks  on accomplishing this?  Easy to do if hub is off the car.
Thank you,    Bruce 73 tr6

I always remove the outer axles to grease the outer u-joint. I find it
usually pays to take the brake drum off to check stuff so it's no big deal
to pull the outer axles.  Plus you get to make sure the studs for the hub
attachment are not stripped. You can also use the opportunity to clean up
the brake dust.
