#1 Greasing the front axle

Post by pmansson » Tue Aug 04, 2015 6:29 am

Does the grease come out under the edge of the washer into which is fitted the nipples? Not like the rear axle where it comes out on the other side when full....
The angles ones, when tightened and pointing at at awkward direction, can be turned/loosened so as to enable fitting the grease gun nostril, right...
The central ones at the rear, under the diff, call for loosening the exhaust and pulling it to one side by the looks of it.
I have done the saloons before but not the E-types.

Hi.....the grease will come out somewhere as ist under pressure...on the front yes from under the washer is quite normal...you should be able to get on all the nipples without undoing anything but this depends on your access..if you have a lift its easier.. Steve
