JAG IRS separating half shaft from upright hub
I have an older replica with JAG IRS. The original builder used a straight grease zerk in the outside U-joint in both half shafts. They probably looked great when the half shafts were not installed in the uprights. Once installed the zerks are close to and pointed at the aluminum protective bell wall. The zerks are not pointed where a grease gun would be coming from. I figure the zerks were installed using a 1/4" drive 6 point 5/16" socket. They are tight. I tried a 5/16" 12 point wrench and I could see the corners staring to round. I need to separate the half shaft from the upright far enough to access the zerk. They do no leak , there is no looseness, and the camber is correct. The car was built in 84 and I have had it since 99. I'm looking for information from some body that has done the JAG IRS upright and half shafts. advise , recommendations .
