Just gave the rear driveshaft a birthday 3 x new Spicer ujs, center bearing and a balancing job. But I can't seem to get get grease flowing from all the seals. Most I can get is one or two and no matter how much I pump it just doesn't want to purge from the rest.
Anyone have tips and tricks to get past this problem?

Re: Spicer ujs
Are you trying to grease them with shaft fitted to vehicle?
If so the angles will only allow grease to go to only 2 points.

Drive it and try again next week. The grease will get flung out to the bearings as you use it.

Cheers guys, Yeah shafts on vehicle & I'm not keen on removing it again! Center bearing retainer is a bloody pain to get the bolts in since Nissan thinks we have tiny wee helpers to squeeze in tight spots!
I originally though of cutting off pieces of rubber and temporarily wrapping it around the purged seals to force grease to other seals once to get a even flow, only for the first grease up.
Heard of people heating up non purging seals to make them flow but heat & rubber don't mix in my books.
