I recently changed my oil and lubed whatever grease fittings on my Outlander 400 I could find. I could not get my grease gun into the universal joint at the rear of the rear drive shaft. I was able to get onto the front universal joint on the rear drive shaft, however. I'd like to get some grease in that thing. Do I need a special tool/grease gun fitting or do I have to disassemble the driveshaft? I'm using one of those "mini" grease guns. I don't think I'd even stand a chance with a full-size.

 

You just need to rotate the U-joint so that the side with the zerk fitting opens up more. Really easy to do if you have a lift.

 

Hmmm... I moved it forward and back with no luck. I have a pulley system for butchering deer in my garage and a small floor jack. I see what you are saying though. I'll give it another go once it warms up again (10 degrees here this morning and 20mph winds!).
