Removed one of the Zerks from a new tie-rod last night - don’t recall the tie-rod brand if it had one, but they came from PST. You can see a significant dimensional difference between the tie-rod supplied Zerk on the left, and one purchased
from NAPA last night. The NAPA Zerk is longer and necks down to a smaller diameter - should grip the grease gun better looks like......

Subject: Zerks ! 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.
