I went to grease my U-Joint on my ATV this weekend and could not find any grease zerks on my U-Joint. It appears that they are sealed. Can anyone confirm if this year model uses sealed fittings. Does this mean I don't have to grease my u-joint? The super awesome manual I bought seems to say that this needs to be done semi-annually. Not sure why it would say to grease the u-joint semi-annually if there was no zerk or nipple to be found to apply the grease.

I am getting a high pitch sound when driving forward which I thought was because my u-joint needed to be grease. And anyone help clarify. HELP!!

If there is a zerk on this year model, can someone post a picture. I can't seem to find the nipples.

2004.5 SP700

 

At LEAST ONE on propshaft at transmission end. CHECK your manual!

 

I checked my manual and see them shown in the drawing. BUT, I don't see any on my ATV. I looked all over for the zerks. I just figured they were all sealed. I am thinking my model may not have any.

BTW, Do I need to apply any grease outside of the propshaft? Where the two U pieces come together?

 

Zerk fitting on propshaft just for splines on tranny and propshaft insides so wont rust up and end up damaging shaft if you have to remove. Jack up rear,turn wheels while looking at propshaft and you will see nipple.
