found a loose grease point on my truck
I found a loose grease insert on my driveshaft, it actually came off when i was greasing it, so i'd like to know how tight these are supposed to be, right now its just hand tight.

Re: found a loose grease point on my truck
i usually use a 1/4inch rachet and make it good and snug but dont strip the threads.

Re: found a loose grease point on my truck
I think my front driveshaft joint was out of grease, took a bunch of pumps before it popped, you guys might want to check yours.
