    Getting back to the grease nipple question,
    you would need to remove the welsh plug type seal nearest swivels so grease can flow through the bearings.
    and the injection point near bearings needs to allow grease to get by the bearings own seal.
    this possibly be a tricky angle to drill, lots of careful measuring to obtain drilling point and angle.

    dont know what peoples views on terrain tamer gear, but theres a youtube clip on cv joints, talking about their new terrain tamer cv joint can have a grease nipple put in the end of it.
    could be good, only really for the cv itself. would have to remove hub first obviously but would be quick if you didnt want to pull it all apart.
    i should be doing my swivel hub in a couple of weeks, hopefully lokka too.

    good idea for greasing but you have to do it regularly, as the small dia, long grease passage could dry out and plug hole the heat see's to that.
    Heat allows the oils to readily flow out through the passage and can potentially leave the carrier behind to plug up passage.
    It's only a lack of maintance that is the problem here.
    As long as the CV are made from a metal stronger to make up for the hollow.
    Can't see t/tamer short cutting on that so things should be fine.

    But give em time and cheap Chinese e/bay specials will turn up with sus metals.
