Longer grease nipples on prop shaft

[cadetchris]

So I have discovered that at some point over the 3 years that my restoration has taken, I have assembelked the uj’s on the prop shaft wrong and I cannot get a grease gun onto them.

I don’t really want to disassemble them as that will risk damaging them and thus replacing them totally.
So what I would like to know is if anyone knows of a source of extra long grease nipples that I can simple screw in.

I have had a look but I am no longer sure about the tread size, so any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean by 'assembled the UJ's wrong', if you've fitted them successfully and they swivel then surely they must be okay?
However, the short grease nipples on the prop can be a bit hard to get the gun nozzle to latch onto, I have had the same issue in the past with MM props, so here is a link to some longer ones for you.

You may find it easier to change them with the prop off the car though.
Additionally, a G coupler will make life allot easier when going round the car doing the regular maintenance, link below for you, it simply screws straight on in place of your existing gun nozzle.
Best wishes,
Mike.
