U joint greasing
Any toll available to grease the u joint`s .
I purchased the needle greaser no luck cant get grease in them , no they are not pluged they are fairly new.
Also can you pull the rear disc without removing the trailering arm.
I need to replace the emergency brakes.

If they are fairly new, the u-joints shouldn't need grease. Do the end caps have holes in them for greasing? Maybe they are full.
You don't need to remove the trailing arms to service the parking brakes, just the brake disks. If they've never been removed, you'll need to drill the rivets holding them on.

2nd, question. As said about the rivets. This is a *itch job with the dust shield in place - and you would have to remove the spindle to replace the dust shield. At least it was a *itch job for me until I figured out to use mono fishing line attached to the pins to pull thru the hole.
