How To Grease Your Own Car

How To Grease Your Own Car
FIRST -- put on your dirtiest clothes so you can crawl under your car.
SECOND -- buy a supply of transmission, differential, universal joint, water pump, and pressure gun greases, a grease gun and a spray gun.  Also some S.A.E. No 40 lubricating oil.
THIRD -- equip yourself with lots of good strong words such as "Darn," "Oh hang," and such to use on the joints where the grease doesn't want to come through.  Keep using these words until the grease comes out the other side.
FOURTH -- buy yourself a complete set of wrenches to use on the containers that must be opened to inspect the lubricating supply inside.  Also some new skin to graft on your knuckles when the wrench slips.
FIFTH -- fill your spray gun full of penetrating oil to spray on the springs.  Be sure not to breathe for about ten minutes while spraying the fprings or you may oil plate the inside of your lungs which is bad.
SIXTH -- be sure not to miss any place that should be lubricated as it may cost you the price of 20 grease jobs for repairs.
OK -- if this seems too much trouble and expense, drive your car into the Lovett Motor Co. Service Station and ask Kermit McGee to give it a first class job for only 75 cents.  The two men who operate our two lubrication racks have been in our employ over 10 years.-- LOVETT MOTOR CO., Chevrolet Dealer.
