    Any tips on how to lube my '68 Riv slip spline as well as the u joint. I can't find any sub for the Alemite adapters listed in the Serv manual, #327045 or 326375. :confused:
    Cars got 75k miles on it, and are squeaking.
    Thanks

    The entire drive shaft was out of the car when I did mine Gene, and that made it much easier than working thru the access holes in the X frame!
    327405 is just an extended grease nipple that screws into the slip spline threaded access hole - 326375 has a rubber tip that inserts into the CV joint fitting. Explained in the shop manual on page 00-15.
    Maybe try one of the quick lube, or jiffy lube shops for a source for these special fittings ? :Do No:
    Got mine from a retired 'old school mechanic' who had no longer needed them. :TU:

    Yea thanks Randy. I did a long net search, saw some workarounds and hoped maybe somebody had a secret way or the p/n crossed over to a current #.
    Probably just drop the shaft.
