No grease nipples on me prop!
Ja1983:
mine was missing a nipple on the rear prop UJ, after a bit of scraping around i found a hole, and promptly slipped one in...
other nipples seemed a bit reluctant to take grease (spraying out around the nipple, so my next job envolves the deep 7mm, a dish of boiling water, and a toothbrush! :wink:

Thanks people, will be under the truck again this weekend.
Will probably remove the prop to grease & have a good luck for a grub screw or hole.......
Love how the Hookes joint is sealed for life! mine must be one of the ones who's life is nearly over then, its very 'damp' like when you grease the other uj's and excess gets pushed out. :?
Still, I will report back after me investigation. :wink:

Got it sorted!
Jacked a front wheel up so I could turn the prop by hand, found a small screw right where you would expect a grease nipple. It took a 1/8 Allen key to remove, I then 'borrowed' the nipple from the rear prop to attach and apply grease......WOW it took over 3/4 of my cartridge (basically finished it off) before any sign of grease in the seal!
I'm glad its done, especially after how much grease it took. I was pumpin that gun for an eternity! :o
Oh, I then put the nipple back in the rear prop & replaced the screw :D
