Default Drew.... I need you to lube me!

Ewwwwwwwww!


I purchased a grease gun, synthetic grease and a grease needle. I then got under the truck to grease the front drive . I can see the point to lube, but when I try to push the needle in, the damn thing just bends.

So, I know have to go and get the part you specified in an earlier post. My question is does the grease fitting get pushed in to lube on the bearing? Or am I doing something wrong?

I remember Rich(cumminalong) said something about it makes it easier if there is a 45 degree bend in the needle to acess the grease point.

if the little ball that is in there moves in just a little you should be able to get grease to the fitting, and when you see it start to ooze out the other side youve got enough in it.
