Lubrication Procedure
1. Use a recommended lubricant to purge all 4 seals
of each universal joint.This flushes abrasive
contaminates from each bearing assembly and assures
proper filling of all four bearings.
2.
Make sure fresh grease is evident at all U-joint
bearing seals.
3. Important: If any of the seals fail to purge, try to
move the driveshaft from side to side while applying
grease gun pressure.
a. If all 4 bearing positions still will not purge,
releasing seal tension may be necessary.
b. Remove the bearing plate bolts and straps.
Do
not reuse bolts or straps.
c. Once the bearing cups are free, allow the
driveshaft to rest on support strap.
d. Apply a c-clamp around the inboard bearings.
e. Apply grease gun pressure. Completely purge
both bearings.
f. If bearings will still not purge, complete the
removal of the U-joint and inspect for blockage.
g. If the U-joint will still not purge at all 4 positions
after following the steps in this procedure,
replace the U-joint.
