U-joint greasing tip

When I grease the CCKWs I own, I use two floor jacks and lift up one wheel on one side of each rear axle and leave the transmission and transfer in neutral.

By doing this, I can rotate the drive shafts while under the truck to easily get at all the grease fittings.

As you need to leave the parking brake in the released position, make sure you chock the rear wheels that are still on the ground!

Great tip Doc. Thanks, I have never thought of that and would struggle with trying to get to the grease zerks instead of getting them to me. :D
