After a 27 mile ride home in 80+ degree heat, I drained the swivel housings on my 94 disco. A decent amount of black grease slowly came out.
I snipped the top off of one of the lube packs and tried to fill up the swivel housing. The stuff gets air locked or soemthing. I stuck my finger in the top of the housing and it feels like the swivel ball is only about 1" down and there isn't much room for the new thick goo to flow down into the housing.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to heat the new grease up so it is more liquid? Should I do this in a pot of warm water on the stove?
How have you filled your swivel housings?
Thanks-
Todd
