Why is it so hard to get grease thru a Zerk fitting!? Changed the oil, filter and lubed the ’62 Dart wagon last night. Started out with the Zerks because I expected the battle.
Good quality Lincoln pistol grip grease gun and quality grease. Ball joints upper and lower no problemo. But several tie-rod ends just feel solid and don’t seem to take any grease. Using a straight tip it squeezes out around the tip. Using a 90 degree
tip that clips on same story. Use a needle tip get a perfect seal, yet it’s just solid when trying to pump grease...... OK – Is it just me or what. All new suspension 3 years ago and 2,000 miles ago........... Is that why, the new ball joints just fit tightly together blocking the grease flow? Even when lubing my 2008 GMC ¾ ton truck which has 11 zerks, it always seems a pain and a giant mess. About to throw in the towel and go have it done with a pneumatic grease gun.
I do see Lincoln makes a handheld power grease gun. But then again with no lift your crawling around underneath trying to get in all these tight places, making getting a seal on the Zerk even tougher........ -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
