Most shop manuals specify that hand operated grease guns must be
used on ball joints, steering arms, etc. I guess this is to avoid
bursting the rubber seals around the joints.
I have a question that's related to this topic...the front drive
shaft on my Dakota pickup has flush fittings for lubrication.
The shop manual specifies that a needle type injector is required
to grease these type of fitting. I found one at my local Trak Auto,
but I can't get the fitting to accept grease with it. Perhaps
a pressure operated grease gun is required? Any thoughts?
