[Fot] Drive shaft U joints

[Mike Harmuth]

New email account but same old racer.
I've been using u joints with the grease nipple in the center of one of the
bearing caps vs the type with the nipple in the center (main body) of the
joint. I've had problems greasing up the center of the body type, there
always seemed to be something in the way while they were installed in the
car, while the end cap type could always be accessed. Looking on line now
it seems like almost everything available now are the main body type. The
last set of end lubed joints only lasted a year before they got sloppy so
I'm reluctant to put another set of them in.

Any suggestions on making the center fill ones easier to lube on the car ?
I've already converted the 1/2 shaft axles to larger joints and they're
great.

Plan B?

Thanks
