Have just removed the drive shafts from my car and they appear to be in good order. However after 40 years in storage they are just a touch grimy. Could somebody please recommend the best method of cleaning the joints and splines and then a suitable grease for reassembly.

Many thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

     the splines are easy. Split the shaft and clean in paraffin etc.  Re-lubricate with any decent grease (LM or Moly)

 

The UJ's are difficult. Any cleaning the does not include complete dis-assembly may get muck on the needle rollers.

Either break them down completely or install new quality UJ's

TVC10010 is todays choice for TR6 but the one with the longer needles

should only be taken from a good supplier like GKN.

+1   I got mine from  JGS 4x4    https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/search-results?q=tvc100010g  Good prices and quality

Many thanks for your views. I have decided to remove UJs, thoroughly clean, fit new quality units as suggested and regrease.

cheers,

Tim
