U-Joint Grease - What Nozzle or Adaptor??
Good Question for you Old Timer ERA Guys....
While crawling around under #375, while the Cobra was on Jack Stands, I did notice grease nipples on each end of my Jaguar drive shaft Universal Joints. I whipped out the trusty grease gun but the nozzle at the tip of my grease gun just would not fit onto the fitting as there was not enough clearance.
So what is the trick to get these fittings greased?
Do you use some sort of needle adaptor or what?
Thanks in Advance.

I just greased all the fittings on my car last week. I used one of the flexible hose attachments on the grease gun and had no problem at all.

Hey Rick-
That was meant for Rick Dorman, but I guess it applies to you too.

How about you both get back to work
Flex hose has always worked for me on the grease fittings.

Yup, the flexi hose did the trick. Yes, have it on jack stands on the frame. Just moving the wheels allowed me to align the nipples for easy access.
Thanks
BTW:
Also, on the rear drive hub carrier which is the stationary part that is connected to the lower A arm. There appears to be a "plug" on the top of this. Is this an access port for grease packing the rear bearings?

Rick:
How do you take that plug out? Mine is a smooth rounded plug with a tiny hole in the middle of it. There appear to be threads near the edge?
Footnote: Some time later, I referred to a Jaguar website and found that the plug is pressed in and it can by pryed out with a flat bladed screwdriver. Did that and filled the reservoir with grease. Nice.
