My class was studying universal joints, so I showed the students how to put my front driveshaft back together.





The little grease plug for the CV ball joint was in pretty bad shape, and I forgot to put it back in before assembly.  Trying to install it later just led to more damage.



I looked at using a little retainer clip with sealer instead, but it was even harder to get in position.



With a little trimming, it might have gone, but in the meantime I found the best way to access the hole...



...and the plug popped in securely.
