So I need to grease the needle bearings in my 70 Bronco. I saw this trick piece a guy built to to the job with out completely disassembling the front. Any one else have a better way or a tool that is made for the job? Thanks Lance

Look up or search “spindle luber“ and see if anyone still makes the tool.
I have one for my bronco and one for my pick up that are made out of machined aluminum with the proper threads and a grease fitting.
Very simple and straightforward.

Dirt , I googled it but no luck and none on eBay. Would you want to loan me the one for the bronco if I pay freight back and forth to you?

Paul,
Can you post some pictures of your “spindle luber" before it goes on a road trip?
Thanks

So I finally got around to getting this made. I used a small piece of 1 1/4 pcv pipe. A 1 1/4 couple and a 1 1/4 plug. I threaded the plug for the grease insert at the end. Drilled a hole as close to center as I could get it in the back . Used a fine thread coarse thread exhaust manifold bolt a few o rings and two nuts. It worked pretty well and got it done. I did have to make a small gasket the size of the spindle to seal it off once a lot of pressure is on it . Anyway here are a few pictures.
