The only mention of u-joint care I see in Guzziology is to "add an ounce (30 cc) of gear lube to the area around the big-twin u-joint." "This won't lube the sealed u-joint but will keep the seals moist, ward off moisture damage, and let me know when the boot has failed by causing a big messy leak." Above that he does mention "removing the u-joint every other winter or so for a thorough servicing." By that he means disassembly, cleaning, relubing and reassembly. Cheers, |
If you read carefully, you'll find that in order to dissassemble, you have
to destroy the bearing cup. Eldo U joints are NOT designed for
dissassembly/reassembly.
