Put in the new NAPA zerks on all the tie rod ends - now it greases 
fine...........  Go figure.........

Tried to replace the zerks in the ball joints even though they worked fine - 
but they appear to be metric - slightly smaller that the 1/4-28 the rest of 
them are...........  Why do they do that..........  LOL

Ricky,

I have found that some zerks has a stuck ball fitting that need a bit of 
solvent to loosen them before they will accept grease; not sure if it is 
because of imported/improper manufacture or what...let us know how it works 
out.

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........--
