My neighbor was asking me how to grease that u joint as he is replacing a NF with a WFE. I always thought there was a zerk there, but it looks like the zerk is for the bushing that the lower shaft rides in. SO, is there a way to gease or were these "factory sealed" u joints

I don't believe the originals were greasable.

I replaced the cross and bearing kit in mine with Precision (NAPA) #861 which is.

Larry if the unit is not installed yet lay the u-joint at a 46* to 90* angle and look in the center of cross for a little plug if there's a plug just install a 90* grease fitting in it but if it does not have the plug now is a good time to change the cross out. He can just remove the u-joint and add grease in the cups too
