Greasing the Drive Shaft Universal Joints:
1. Check the drive shaft for looseness. Repair as necessary.
2. Apply the specified grease at the grease fitting on the universal joint. Apply new grease until new
grease purges from all the seals.
3. If new grease does not purge at the seals, loosen the bearing cap bolts and re-grease until all
four caps purge. If new grease still does not purge, disassemble and clean or replace the universal
joint.
Greasing the Drive Shaft Slip Yoke and Splines:
1. Check the drive shaft for looseness. Repair as necessary.
2. With finger, cover the rear air hole so grease flows to the front seal. Apply the specified grease
at the grease fitting on the slip yoke. Apply grease until new grease purges and forces finger
away from the air hole in the end of the slip yoke. Greasing interval is 10,000 miles or annually.
