Hi
I have read and gone through numerous drive related threads, but have seen conflicting responses, hence the questions,
Note - This is my first drive shaft bike - 2013 S10, 12k miles.
This coming winter I plan to remove the pumpkin and lube the front splines, what lube goes on these splines?
Also, on pictures I see where the pumpkin is removed and the drive shaft is revealed, up near the front there appears to be a circlip, just behind the end of the splines. Do I need to do anything with this?? Or is it really as simple as pull the driveshaft out, lube, re-insert the driveshaft?
I will also clean up the driveshaft and ensure the little drain hole is clear.
The rear splines/wheel splines I am happy with, no questions around this.
Thanks in advance
Boris
