Ranting moan incoming!
Why no matter how hard you try is there always one UJ cup that never gets any grease and the turns to dust!
Three nice greasy roller bearing cup and one full of rusty dust! Quality gkn uj replaced with another gkn uj. Thankfully it is a fairly quick job as everything is free as a uj tends to lay me between 12-24months they get swapped out fairly regularly.
Although another moan on finding more problems one of the handbrake prop bolts has chewed the threads of the end of itself so I could not get a new nut on! Three nuts for the time bearing and then looks like I am removing the gearbox flange at the weekend to replace the bolt (have them on the shelf). That is a job I haven’t done for nearly 10 years so I guess I shouldn’t grumble too much.
Although the hole in the exhaust also found is more of a complaint. I wish somewhere would sell original exhaust section in stainless rather than having to buy the full kit!
