Greasing u-joint question
After a really productive weekend removing the sombrero bushings (5lb sledge and lots of penetrating oil) and rear shocks (sawzall through bolt that was mounted backwards before the body was dropped), I'm to the point of reassembling the rear end of my '65.
I'm putting new u-joints (without grease fittings) in all around - should I shove a little grease in the cups around the needle bearings just to be safe, or should they be fine as they are?
Thanks!
