for us aussies that like playing in water and mud i think ive found a way to help the fight to extending the life of the cvs, wheelberings and spindle bearings

i regularly put my truck in water over the bonnet so diff breathers and a way to keep water out of the knuckle is well sort after imo so...

what if i drill and tap for a grease fitting on the knuckle where seals dont go like the top near the shock mount

would the grease push past the inner axle seals into the gear oil or push out the rubber/felt pack?

the idea is to litarly fill the knuckle with grease the cv and hub bearings the lot so to push out any water or dirt that may cause damage?

perhaps takeing the square plug out of the hub will take the "pressure off the inner axle seal" to the point it will come out the square bolt hole before pushing past the inner axle seal??

i think since ive gotten my spare axle aprt ill just drill n tap it whack a niple in there and be happy with it see what hapends i can allway just not use it right and it be like normal so i cant see any loss to doing so?
