NOTE
Driveshaft
When using a grease gun, apply lubricant to
and Univer-
the fitting until clean lubricant squeezes out
sal Joints
of the part being lubricated.
(all axles)
Universal joint may have one or two grease
(continued)
fittings. If there are two fittings, grease
either fitting. It is not necessary to grease
both fittings.
Use the proper lubricant to purge all seals
on each universal joint. Purging flushes
abrasive contaminates from each bearing
and ensures all bearings are filled properly.
Pop the seals; these seals are made to be
popped. If any seal fails to purge, move
driveshaft from side-to-side while applying
grease gun pressure. This allows greater
clearance on thrust end of bearing that is not
purging. If seals still do not purge, rock
truck by starting engine, releasing parking
brakes, putting transmission in Drive (D) or
Reverse (R), and allowing truck to roll.
This removes the wind up in the drive line
and allows for a greater clearance on the
thrust end of the universal joint.
Because of the design of the universal joint
seal, there will occasionally be one or more
bearing seals that may not purge. Seal
tension then has to be released. The
procedure for releasing seal tension is as
follows:
(1) Loosen bolts holding bearing assembly
that does not purge to release seal
tension. It may be necessary to loosen
bearing assembly approximately 1/16
in. (1.6 mm) minimum.
(2) If loosening does not result in purging,
remove bearing assembly to determine
cause of blockage.
