How does the grease get to the rubber seal? The only place it could possibly go would be out the threads and that ain't happening on my trucks. (at least with the new shafts) When I try to put grease in, NO way will it go.
I'm starting to think there might be a design flaw in the new ones. There simply is no place for the grease to go. ???
I think it's time I locate an original used one and compare to the new ones.
