U joints question

[Robj]

Hello,

I have a Volvo with an SP drive. I have the leg off, and before re-installing it, I wanted to grease the U joints. They do not have a grease nipple and the only way to grease them is to remove and disassemble. How do I remove that shaft which contains the U joints from the leg inorder to disassemble them so they can be greased. Or should I even bother, they are smooth and tight, without any play, and seem fine.

Thanx for your help and have a great day,

Rob.

Thanx Bond-o,

I like that answer, because it reduces the amount of work that I need to do. I will take your advice.

All manufacturers, including auto; need to be shot' with the non-greasable bearings.
