Dana 25 front axle, lubricate

the steering knuckles have been converted from ninety weight oil to> grease that you will put in the fill plug to protect the axle universal> joints.

Ok, I found the fill plug, thank you for the excellent link, that lead me to even more information about lubricants used in the steering knuckles.

Now that I was looking at the front axle I found another possible fill plug? It is a bolt, looks like about 6mm, fitted in the axle about 15cm from the steering knuckles, in an angle of maybe 15 degrees. Any idea what these bolts do?

Hi Bill

Hard to explain precesily where the bolts are located but tomorrow I will try to take a decent picture, maybe that wil solve the mystery.

Now I finaly managed to get the photo taken. The green arrow indicates the grease fill plug if I have understood you right and the red circle indicates the bolt that I don't know what to do with.

Thanks for all your help

Interesting engine swap. Bet it goes quite well ! FWIW, if you blow a head gasket, dont use the tin Rover replacement ones; but get the composite ones from a 61-63 Buick which will fit nicely.
