The news about a press fit is news and is making me Leary. If there was a tool that I haven't thought about in order tp get that tight zerk out. So if I remove the Allen bolt and the outer wheel hub slips out , it's gravy? It was suggested that i try a right angle grease adapter to just get the U-joint to take grease. I ordered an adapter , should have by Saturday. I think it would be better with a 45° zerk, pointed back towards the half shaft where a grease gun could get on.
I'm not as adventurous as I used to be but do have a lot more time and some money to get things done If I can make it right and I figure that getting all the grease points greased when the urge over takes me is a significant point. The U--joint has survived for 36 years and I do not want to press my luck.
