I wasn't trying to imply that the needle wouldn't work. It just seems to me after reading all of this that perhaps not all of us, mainly me, are visualizing this situation the same way. If the zerk is where I think it is, then fliping it around won't serve any purpose. I guess more questons are in order. (pictures would be nice)
Is this a one piece or a two piece driveshaft setup?
Just which joint exactly are we dealing with?
Do you have a shop manual for it?
Is the centerline of the zerk pointing in the same direction as the truck (north/south), or does it point towards the side of the truck (east/west)?
