Cappi,
I bought mine from Sears Hardware for 4 dollars it actually screws on to the grease gun. Also it worked great I did try to lube the driveline without it and lets just say I had more on the ground than in the zerks. I than bought this needle and was finished in 5 minutes or less with no mess.

Hey thanks for the tip on getting that needle-nose fitting for the grease gun, got it at Sears - it worked like a charm!

Biggest problem I had was getting the driveshaft aligned so that those little fittings were pointed so I could get to them (crawl under the truck, look at the alignment, pull it ahead, crawl back underneath, ....) Any suggestions?

Again I put my truck in Neutral and when I was under the truck I just twisted the drive shaft. Just make sure that the truck is on flat ground

Question Grease Question

I know that Toyota specs say to use multi-purpose grease and molybdenum disulfide lithium base chassis grease for propeller and drive shaft maintenance. Do you guys have two grease guns to do the job?

Is there a grease perhaps a synthetic version that I can use on the propeller and drive shaft? All purpose type.

I use a synthetic moly-fortified lithium base grease for all points.

Ditto what Cappi said. I use Valvoline synthetic. As to an earlier question, I do give it just a pump, maybe a pump and a half. Not enough to see it come out of the fitting, you kind of hear/feel it.

Ok, I know what grease to buy. Any advice on a quality grease gun? Are they all the same? Where to buy it?

Thanks for your help. This site is the best!
