Seeing a recent topic on lifting the vehicle (asked by Stuupnorth) got me remembering someone who did greasing of the infamous bottom trunnions. He had a bar that lifted the front wheels evenly by lifting under the lower trunnions so that grease could be forced into points that cannot be done whilst car is on the wheels. Has anyone else done this and if so, any sizes etc?
When I saw this done it meant that the wheels could be turned on the steering so that grease could be well packed in.

Re: Lifting vehicle for greasing
Yes, standard procedure. Raise and support car, raise suspension to take load off trunnions. Makes it much easier to pump in grease. Morris Minor Centre Birmingham sell trunnions with extra grease nipples to help ensure an even distribution.
