Here I am

Finally stumbled on an easy way to grease that aggravating Cardan joint.

Why not a 10 speed?

While doodling with modifying my mini-greasegun to better attack the Cardan joint, I noted there was a set of oval hole in the crossmember directly below the joint. Low and behold, when I rotated the shaft so the fitting was at 180 degrees from vertical, a flashlight shined up through the holes in the crossmember shined directly on the little bugger. I passed my grease line up through the holes and was able to possively get ALL the grease I pumped into the joint. In the past it has been a questionable experience. Not this time! :)

By 180 degrees from vertical, I mean straight down, 6 o'clock position.

Isn't 180* rotation also vertical, just on the upper side?:eek:. Don't mean to be arguementative, just couldn't visualize what you meant without crawling under the truck. If your method makes it easier, I'm all for it.
