    FYI. If any of the zerks are in a tight spot, get a needle tip for the gun. Also............ALWAYS clean the zerk fitting well before greasing so you're not pumping dirt into it. Good luck with all.

    I haven't been able to get to the rear fitting on the front shaft. Might change it to a 45 degree

    The 2 wheel drives should have zerks on their driveshaft in the corner of the u-joints. Also have one on the "yoke", pump the u-joints full but just give the yoke a pump or two
