Greasing points

[pupp]

Anyone know where there are grease points? I believe the steering rack and prop UJs are likely. Any more? How accessible are they (does the exhaust have to be dropped to get at the prop?) Ta

According to joospeed's reply www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=123569&f=8&h=0 - yes

You can get to the rear U/J on the prop with a flexi head grease gun, its just hard fixing it on the nipple. (oh dear, i said nipple and hard in the same sentence).The centre U/J is however unreachable without removing the exhaust plate. My diff is GKN so cant help with that. There is a greasing point on the steering rack which can be seen easily from underneath, i also like to slather the two steering column U/J in grease as well (they dont have greasing points). All of this is made easier if you invest in a friend with a hydraulic ramp (as i have) these are usually available at your local pub for somewhere in the region of ten pints of Speckled Hen
