U joint grease nipple

Unread post by Cisco82 » December 5th, 2020, 4:00 pm

Hi fellows,

im grasing all u joint relevant to axles, i think there are some nipples brokes but i dont understand how i can remove them .. it doesnt seem to be possible to remove them with a socket or a wrench cause the are circular... shoult i use a piler to remove them (no screw connection)?

I have removed the round ones with locking needle nose pliers, the hex ones are usually 5/16, if the body is broke off, may have to resort to screw extractor.

Once you get the grease gun zerks replaced, here is the best way to grease them :idea:

The ones on the axle u joints are very hard to grease with a standard grease gun fitting.

Mini grease gun with extension and grease needle.
