Kevin, I had a similar problem with the dust cap on my angle drive. Every time I tried to take it off, it would be loose from the hub, but the cable from the angle drive would stick into it with a death grip. The last time it was suck on there I needed two crowbars to pry it off. I'm surprised it didn't take the angle drive cable with it. I figured out that the cable on my angle drive was a little too long. I trimmed off about 3mm, and that made the cap fit a lot easier. But this then created a new problem of having the cable fray on the end. I suppose I could tin it with solder, but I would probably have to remove it from the car to do it well. If I had it to do over again, I would have drilled a hole through the end of the cap to make more room for the cable instead of trimming the cable down. As for what kind of lubrication is best for the angle drive, I think this is a matter of opinion. I think most people recommend 90W gear oil. I think the 85W/140 stuff you have would work fine. I heard that Ed Burnsting fits grease zerks to his angle drives so that they can be greased with the ball joints. But I think that that kind of grease would be too thick. What I used in my angle drive was straight Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer. That stuff is thick and gooey and takes a long time to seep out. I used the same stuff in my steering rack, too. I can't say it is the best thing to use, but I like the stuff. I haven't had any problems with it yet and nor do I expect any. Another problem that I have had in that area is rust on the hub. A little corrosion gets in there and makes it hard to pull the wheel off. Now I smear a little wheel bearing grease on the hub so it doesn't seize on there anymore. I'm curious to know of other people's experiences with these problems. Walt Tampa, FL
