Hey all
First time ever doing this, went and bought a couple of grease guns (Kincrome) with flexible hoses to grease the 6 nipples under the 120. The four U-joints were a breeze, nice popping sound after a couple of pumps and a tiny amount of grease oozing out the seals. The sliding yokes though wouldn't take hardly any grease. Hard to tell if any went in at all, after the first pump the grease just wouldn't go in, it just kept pumping around the nipple and not going in. No popping sounds, no grease oozing out any seals - just refusing to go into the nipple. I pulled one of the two nipples off and had a bit of a grease explosion so there was obviously pressure in there.
Question is... Should I hear the grease pushing the air out of the sliding yoke seals? I've read before that sometimes these things need to be dismantled and cleaned good because they get full of crap.
Thanks
Brett

will that be enough or should I drive for a few km with the nipples out? How full should it be?
