Finally get that stupid needle in the hole but now the light bulb popped and you're in the dark, crawl out change the bulb cause hands are too greesy to use your cell phone flashlight, then forget how many squirts of grease may have made it in there!
In reality, on th new trucks, I wouldn't worry about it until you think you've got 10000 miles or more in 4wd. The front driveshaft is just an architectural feature unless running in 4x4.
LOL, thanks for the laughs, guys! One thing that has been forgotten is mumbling every cuss word known to man while you search around the garage for another grease gun accessory that you hope will work but deep down know it won't! :B
