mmcdowel Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 I have two plugs on the rear axle (each side) of my 1950 Dodge Meadowbrook and the maintenance manual says to grease them with a low pressure grease gun every 10,000 miles. Is there an attachment available for a standard grease gun that would help me do this without making a mess? Also, is modern synthetic wheel bearing/CV joint grease OK to use in place of the "short fiber" grease the maintenance manual recommends? Thanks! Quote
Solution desoto1939 Posted February 15, 2016 Solution Report Posted February 15, 2016 Do not use a grease gun it will put tooooo much grease behindg the bearing and then force grease out the seal into the backing plate and then onto the brake shoes. Thke a small amount of grease and new grease is ok about a thumb sise and then push the grease into the hole do this maybe twice then put the bolt back in. Over greasing will cause issues. It should tell you in your service manual. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com 1 Quote
