Driveshaft lubed up. Question?

[TXRick]

So I bought a greese gun and some greese and lubed up all 8 zerk fittings on her. I couldn't believe how much lube she needed. (That would be a hilarious comment out of context.) I honestly don't think this bit of preventive maintenance has been done in 10s if not 100s of thousands of miles. I had to dig the zerks out since they were clodded with dirt. I can count at least 4 different klunks, creeks, and rattles that don't happen any more!

My question is, what else can I lube up with this magic greese gun? I'm sure there are more zerks that need a good lubing.

You can lube the muffler bearings.

A little foreplay and you won't need the lube(maybe just a little). Wow that bearing looks shot! Now you've got me worried, I'm gonna check my exhaust bearings tonight.

Actually the bearing looks new!! The exhaust is just bad, LOL.

Do you need a left handed screwdriver for that? Do I need to put it on the Tee Are Double E Stand?

local indy will probably charge $20 to press that bearing out and press a new one in.

Nah, I do all my own work. Is there a good write up on the procedure?

If you got 8, then you got them all. If you have aftermarket sway bar links or ball joints, then you might have zerks on those too.
