Greasing my Shaft

2012 Tacoma off road DC. It's my first time I've found the zerks is this the stuff

Thanks

 

Yes.

 

just curious, what kinda internet research are you actively performing while lubing this so called "shaft"?

 

A dry lube in these joints would be a better application, maybe even a Teflon product. They would resist water and dirt and be more likely to stay in the joint over longer periods.

 

I wouldn't use dry lube for my U-joints.

 

I prefer a silicone based lubricant for my shaft, but Valvoline synthetic multi-purpose for the truck.

 

Not the dry lubriciante you are thinking of. A Molybdenum disulfide based dry lubriciate AKA Moly lube grease. Something of that nature.

 

My exact though...^^^

 

Fay Valantine or Jenny Lee have some great instructional videos on shaft mantainance.

 

Lmao! I was picturing some Triflow uniball dry lube.

 

Lured and disappoint

 

I did just that!

Its my first little maintenance project. I neded a response and we all know this has been covered in the past. Why not let you guys have some fun with it...
Well I'm Off to put my hose around some nipples and pump my gun

 

sorely disappointed when i opened this thread and it was only about greasing zerk fittings on a drive shaft.....

shit did i say that out loud.

fawk.

 

I trust my girlfriend with greasing my shaft, she's very good at it but it gets messy from time to time. I sometimes have to bite the nipple though...

 

So not much lube needed?

 

I can only find 3 zerks.
Front

Middle

Back

 

I found 1 in front of the 1st pic but can't find the 5th. I've rolled up a couple inches and looked everywhere. Which one am I missing.

Best part was the hottie from across the street came out with who poodle and asked what I was doin. Just greasin my shaft...

 

Put it in N and apply the parking break, you can turn both shafts by hand (front and rear)

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

Mine spun very freely or I have super powers in my arm
