[DeTomaso] How much grease?

[B Hower]

Too much grease can ruin the seals..........and too much will get thrown all over engine bay. At first sight of grease coming out around seal..........STOP!  A little grease more often is better.......you can't make up for what they didn't get last month or last year. Keep track of how many pumps brought grease out of seal....then stop with one less pump next time. When you set a number of miles between applying grease you will find what is correct number of pumps. JMHO

  Hi all


  While you on the east coast of the US are getting hammered with snow,
  it's unseasonably warm here today, so I took the Pantera out. It's
  really good for the soul!


  I'm playing with one of my Christmas presents - a grease gun. I've
  never had one before, and was advised that as a minimum I should hit my
  u-joints with some grease after my long trip last year. How much grease
  needs to be added? How do you know when enough is enough? Keep in mind
  I'm a grease rookie.


  I hook up my tube to the zerk fitting and pump - should I see grease
  come out somewhere? Or give it one good pump per zerk, or ??


  Thank you!
