Greasing King Pins Ford 1700 Advice Please

[QUOTEI did have it jacked up while doing some of the pumping with wheels removed, as I replaced the hubs oil as well. Why does that matter? I can see that you would then be able to rotate the hub to look for the grease to be deposited during the process. I will use this method next time as a check. I can't quite picture the grease depository shape and am curious how soon the grease would have appeared if I had rotated it from time to time during the process. ][/QUOTE]

When the pressure is removed from the ball joints it is easier for the grease to flow to all the wear surfaces. That's what us old Truckers were always told to do. :)
