Default Help with DIY ujoint lube

So i was looking through the DIY section and figured it would be a good idea to lube the u joint and any other locations. im a little confused about what to use to get this done. If someone could please tell me exactly what i need parts wise, to get the job done. i have nothing, so i guess ill need it all. thnx

I believe the napa part number for the grease gun tip is 715-1200. And of course youll need a grease gun with grease.

Here's a pick of the tip needed for referance

I prefer this type of gun



You'll want one with the hose attatchment (makes life so easier) and then Try to get synthetic grease if you can. If you can't this will work just as well.

Why do you prefer that over a air powered grease gun?
