The 450 has:
Universal Joint at the front hub (2)
Upper ball joint (2)
Lower ball joint (2)
Tie-rod at pitman (1)
Tie rod at connecting rod (1)

That's all I can remember seeing/greasing. I'm sure I'm missing some and it will cost me money later . The joints take a fair amount of grease though. Tough to say exactly how much with the DeWalt cordless grease gun, but it seems like it's about a half a tube.

 

[Rant]
Why does the grease tube in my grease gun (same as Andre's) piddle oil all over the inside of the case while in storage? I've had the same problem with manual grease guns. I've been using Valvoline grease that adheres to the Ford spec for lubing the front axle. My garage doesn't get hot in the summer. It's to the point where I'll find every fitting to grease in every vehicle and then throw away the rest of the tube of grease so it can't leave a mess.

I've heard that the Lucas Red-n-Tacky doesn't do that, but I haven't tried it yet. I have a case of the Valvoline I'm working through.

 

I can assure that Lucas Red-n-Tacky does as well, but my shop does get hot (I assumed it's that). I have accepted the fact that my grease gun will be a mess forever and I will also be a mess when I'm finished greasing anything. I attributed this to my lack of grace and experience. Now I know the truth. Jim also lacks grace

 

Indeed. I have two left feet. Dancing is not something I choose to do.

 

Dude, not a chance. No way. Dancing is not something you want to see me doing EVER.

 

Finished with the closet yesterday.....

Howdy all. Just getting the Warden home from Dental Surgery here at Alpha. She has round 3 next Wednesday.
Need to get the lawn mowed now. Later this afternoon, I have to go to town and see about a bid for our Security System / Camera's at the Sportsman's Association. We've re-run/replaced a damaged cable. Need to get it hooked back into the system. We've lost faith in the original installation company and are looking for a new vendor. Then, I have to give a report to the Board of Directors at a meeting tonight. Maybe I'll get really lucky and they'll fire me!!!! Not going to happen, but one can hope.

I use the Alien Tape. We used the Command Strips but could never get them to hold. Seemed to work for a couple of weeks then we would find hats and windbreakers on the floor. Do you guys prep the wall any?

Off an running.

 

Jim, depends on the surface. The paper covered luan in the camper we wiped down with some alcohol and then wiped it dry with a microfiber. Painted walls, nothing.

 

For preparation, I give the wall a very stern look. Only one Command Hook has come down in 6 years.

I looked up the Alien Tape. It seems very different from traditional tape. It's touted as "reusable" but they don't say much about "removable". I would be quite reluctant to try to pull it straight off of a wall that has RV wallpaper.

I've used my heat gun to smooth and refasten the RV wallpaper. I used my finger to press it down but probably should have used a plastic putty knife or a rubber roller.

 

 

Bart, I just ate dinner, but I think I have enough room to help you with one of those tacos. They look fantastic!

 

Wow, you guys talk a lot LoL

no Duster pix yet, the front brake caliper is seized up so I coaxed it into the garage and pulled it apart and ordered all new stuff from Rock Auto ........ at least it's here

 

No I don't!

 

local Mexican store here in paso robles, butcher shop and food in the back. We eat a lot of tacos and burritos from there.

 

Looking good Gerry. Can’t wait to see more pics!
