Disco-Ron:
Indeed, the supplier of the prop was most surprised when i said the UJ had gone, he said the only ones they'd had go were the ones that weren't being greased.... which as it turns out would be mine, as two of the spiders were very dry!

Range Rover Blues:
I find once they get dried out inside, especially if the rubber seals have worn a litltle, that I can only get grease into 1 or 2 legs on the spider.  I'll try warming them up though, good tip.

All OEM props should have a coating on the splines, I'm not sure if RILSAN is the stuff but they should all have it./

Be careful tapping the spider into the cups on a new UJ, there is a thrust washer inside each cup that is dished, if you flatten it you can introduce lash into the new UJ.

IE tap it, don't hit it.

Steve ray:
In answer to the original question - YES!  :roll:  :lol:

But hope ya get your woes sorted Ron
