What gun or fitting to get grease into u joint?

I have a pretty standard grease gun . Push hard metal line on to zerk and pump. Im have a hard time getting to the Front Zerk next to the transfer case ? What are you guys using for that one?

 

Would like to know as well.

 

My gun has like an 8" rubber hose so I can bend it a little around stuff to get it on. It's just a cheapo one i bought from Amazon.

 

rear shaft or front shaft?

my front shaft gets neglected a bit. rear one, I make sure the zerks are in the right place, right angle to get to them, have to move the truck a few times sometimes to rotate to right spot. I use a flexable hose gun. front shaft spins freely to rotate zerks into right place (I am sure you know this)

 

Front shaft, right in front of the TC. My shit is dirty from offroading. It's right in the center of the u joint

 

That one is a pain in the ass. I usually put the tires up on something to get a little more room to work with, do the other 4, drink a beer, then go at that one. I have read that a gun with a hard metal line and/or a needle tip makes it a bit easier

 

Same.

 

Almost need an angled tip?

 

It’s hard the first time. It’s pretty easy after that.

 

Some guys grind down the grease gun fitting so it fits

 

Got any recommendations on the guns from Amazon and/or grease?

 

I only bought a $5 flexi hose from ebay to go onto my regular sized greased gun, then threw away the hard line hose. Works fine. I wasn't spending $25+ on a new grease gun and more on those mini-grease packs, which btw aren't available everywhere. The hose slips right past the 'armor' plate for the front drive shaft, and I can hit the zerks on the rear drive shaft without putting the truck up on stands.

Separately, this should allow me to grease my JD tractor cutter spindles and frame articulation points more frequently as well.

 

I've got this one, works very well. Heavy duty grease gun

 

1/8 npt for the tip?

 

Honestly, not sure. But I'm able to grease my entire (admittedly first gen) drive-line with it, no problem.

 

Sounds like my EX

 

A gun from walmart and lucus oil red grease works great for everything

 

I ordered this : should be here tomorrow
