    Hey guys!

    Just looking at my one-piece tailshaft I had made up, and I can't help but notice a sticker on it saying "before use, lubricate universal joints". Two questions came to mind.

    1) What do I lube it up with? (certain grease maybe, or a type of oil, or what?)
    2) Is there a certain way or technique I should employ when lubing it, or are there specific parts I should make sure are lubed, or do I just cover it with as much as physically possible?

    Thanks boyo's.

    Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?

    Ahh, okay, never saw the grease nipple. Will have a looksie when I get home... but just ordinary high temp grease should be fine? No other traits I should be looking for?

    Yeah, looked, and there is no nipple. I don't have to grease it?
