Bling Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Also interested to know that one. I've done it many times in the past in cars that are well worn in, never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Didn't get to the brakes today, got busy with the "rear end". Anyway, made this as I found my hose stash. Tube is a tight fit and given it shouldn't really be under any pressure due to open end i'm hoping it doesn't leak. Will bleed it in car and just rag underneath it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Has anyone had any luck with cheap roof racks from the tard? This kinda thing https://www.trademe.co.nz/3064181419 According to proracks website my car would use the same style mounts so it probably would fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 My Marina drive shaft has three universal joints. Two are sealed with no grease fitting, one has a grease fitting (they're all like this stock). Im replacing all three, is there any reason I shouldnt use the same part for all three and have them all greaseable? They appear the same otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If the nipple wont interfere with the movement of the shaft, i had could only get joints with fittings for my commer and one of them would have jammed up the works. so if they dont bind and you have access go for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 May as well go non grease all the way through. Almost everything runs non greasy, and it's not like you're stressing them. Coz, Marina... Up to you. I've done 400,000km and 35 years on non greasy joints and only one is fucked. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost/Availability is the thing, its cheaper and easier to get ones with grease fittings from the States, but they dont list sealed ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 you can block them off if you really wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Or just grease them when / if you change the oil. Easy as. Especially if they're cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just now, Yowzer said: Or just grease them when / if you change the oil. Easy as. Especially if they're cheap im meaning if the fitting is in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Oh right yup, pump them full and then close it. Regrease every 30k or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Shit, it'd be lucky to do 30k in 10 years once I get it on the road Thanks for the help lads, will go with the Rockauto ones with pointy nipples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I don't see the point of greaseable nipples. Starlet ones have done 38 years without needing any grease. Nipples just introduce the risk of getting dirt in the joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 That's some damn high pressure dirt. Starlet has like 6 torques going through the driveshaft. Chuck a big Deez and a couple tonnes up the arse and see how long the sealed joints last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
