After I finish rebuilding front d/s, on to the d30 u-joints and bearings.
Was gazing at old ones still installed in axle and the new Spicers on my bench, got me to thinkin' - why not drill and tap a zerk? Yeah, it'll probably weaken it a tad, but I dont do any hard core 'wheelin, just goin' nuts in the snow.
Can it physically be done? If it can, will the old grease being forced out destroy the seals, or are seals the same on both greaseable/nongreasable u-joints?
I guess I'm always trying to improve a given part/system/situation.
Thanks,
