Accessing CV Driveline Joints

Refer to Figure 5-13 on page 54:

There are two ways the constant velocity driveline joints 
shown in Figure 5-13 can be accessed for lubrication. 
One is through holes in the driveline shield and the other 
is to slide the shields back to expose the grease zerks.

Lubrication Through Access Holes
