Hi sorry been away for a while.

Mine just keeps throwing out the grease so lasts around 2 weeks inbetween filling it up. The nipples I used where actually within the universal joint and just to the front of the joint thingy, rear just before the diff (think this is the particular one in question). I had to take a couple of looks; getting from underneath and move forward or back a little to get the nipple into view as it rotates with the prop. I did the front ones as well - have a look and you will find a few - fill them all while your down there. Need to use Lithium based grease - like a grey stuff the car accessory shop will know what you need if you tell them lithium.

Been looking at the manual to see if there is a seal but no luck so far, been told I will probably need a new / recon prop so if anyone got any clues as to actually curing this problem instead of just keep treating it as it is a bit of a pain in the preverbial

So Bushwacker if you know how to sort it for good and if it is new parts possible suplier - roughtrax Cheers
