1932 universal joint lubrication

Posted by LLT On 2024/5/14 11:32:29

I am in the process of rebuilding the drive shaft on my ‘32, and I am up to the point of reassembly. I am perplexed as to what lubricant to use in the universal joints. Technical literature refers to using an oil, but there was clearly grease in them when I disassembled them. They are lubricated by grease fitting, but it seems that a single grease fitting would have difficulty lubricating four hardened pins unless the entire cavity was flooded with grease. Ideas?
