Thanks Joe,
I was getting all ready to think about sticking the needle in the seal but
I'm glad you came back with this advice. It's still raining like mad here
so it will be awhile before I crawl under the truck and look at things.
Once things clear up here I'll let you know what I found out. hmmmm, I
wonder if this will also work with the rear drive shaft U-joints.
Thanks again for your time and advice
Jay
