I find the one's I have excellent but the thread needs to match the grease gun delivery tube and there are some poor quality ones about. Did strip one of my Wanner 315 to clean valves etc. and replace O rings and made a replacement floating piston as could not find a replacement seal for it. Regards Paul.

daverclasper Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I can see maybe how grease might escape from hubs or shaft UJ's, though not the steering rack?, and oil from front trunnions would stay put? and also not let water in if the top seals are good? In the olden days, I understand grease would harden faster and needed replenishing, though not so nowadays. I still do my trunnions and grease points, though around, every couple of years, as car only does around 1500/2000 miles per year. Dare I say this is adequate, or even overkill?.

I have been trying to post this in a form that will 'Pass' mediation. Hope it succeeds, This late in life and after an operation I find that lying down and playing with nipples can cause an undesired stiffness. Memories eh!

Our lot will descend on my garage next month for the annual service day so gearbox, diff, handbrake cables and trunnions will all get attention, but it's amazing how many are low / bone dry. In some cases they don't drip oil as there isn't any left to drip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
