ASC used to make a screw on spindle luber.It wasnt real expensive when I bought mine 10 years ago.I thought every one knew....

How big around should the PVC pipe be??

the guys said 1.5"..is that inside diameter or length?

Nevermind guys LMAO

Has anyone from the Denver area made one of these? I was wondering if I could use it for a trade of beer or something useful?

If someone (i.e., myself) perfected this design and sold them to YT people would anyone be upset?

nah because using a grease needle works fine haha.

How about a 60 ml syringe filled with grease?

I still can't picture where exactly to grease but I might figure it out when I take the hub off. Anyone got some close up pictures? Don't see the "bushing"... end of the CV shaft?

its a brass bushing thats pressed into the back of the hub

fresch

Ahh I was thinking it was made out of rubber from the term "bushing"

Thanks

Ill post some up tomorrow, yet using a grease needle is WAY easier fyi.

Teuf

Man i need a KTM 300, E start ,mmmmmmmmm

fresch

So I get this right...
take the hub off, c-clamp and other in the way. Then with the needle spooge grease in and around the brass bushing?

Sorry I am slow.

I'm going to have to do this as mine are noisy. Wish I would have read this before I did the wheel bearings.
What are you guys using to connect the PVC pipe to the spindle nut? or are you not using a nut on the PVC versions? I don't have a welder so this is the one I will probably have to go with.

If someone is going to attempt making the PCV version, would someone mind making a video of the process?

Also, where do you pick up the grease zerk fittings? I was checking my local auto parts stores and didn't see any, nor did I even see them at the (small) local ace hardware. (on a side note, I also was looking for some graphite lube for the speedo cable. Couldn't find this anywhere except sears. Didn't think to check for the zerk)

As for the PVC version, what's the recommended way to "glue" the spindle nut on the pipe?

camo31_10.50

no video here..but i can tell ya what i did lol it was COMPLETELY free because i had everything here at the house.

i used a piece of PVC (can't remember the size...just bought one that fit lol) cap end, drilled a hole in the middle for a long 12mm bolt to fit through, drilled a small hole in the side, took the zerk fitting out of my ball joint and just made it thread itself into the PVC, used some rubber from a tractor tire tube to seal everything up!

worked like a damn charm, didn't have to thread anything like these other guys were saying, just use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the bolt you use, or the zerk fitting!

took me a LONG time to pump it full of grease though LMAO

874runnersr5

haha, just use the grease needle... its so much easier and faster.

874runnersr5

Yep, undo the c-clip push the joint back( so your pushing it towards your engine) Get someone to either hold it there, or you can put a 1/2" extension inbetween the cv joint and the backplate to give you the needed space then start pumpin.

DupermanDave

That does look like the best and easiest way. I don't know how packed you can get the grease using a needle compared to the spindle lubricator.
