greasy nipples!

[suzukisteve]

hey everyone, recently got my sj back on the road after a recent head gasket failure. thankfully thats all sorted now

was just wondering about greasing the props..

i cant get my gun into the u.j's to got to the nipples, even after turning the props around all the way!

is it just that my grease gun is to large (oo-er!) or is there another way?

hope everyone is well and having no suzuki related problems!

My nips are on the end of 1 of the caps so they are easy to get to.

A shot in the dark but can you unbolt the prop flange from the diff/tcase flange so that you can move it further gaining more space to get to the nipple?

yeah, it would appear thats what i'll have to. bit of a pain to have to do it each time i need to grease it up but if i gotta do it i gotta do it.

completely off subject, just had a nice lunch time snooze in the back of the sj! win! :-)

Right guys, taking off my front prop as on the way home today, there was a noise comin from the transmission. there is a bit of play in both u.j's. but need to take the prop off to grease em... sigh...

so ive undone the bolts on both of the u.j's (4 each end) but cant seem do shift it, am i missing something or do i just need a large hammer!?

in desperate need here as its also my daily drive!!


cheers
