    Hey guys
    I need to grease my spc ucas. I don't have a grease gun, looking online at them, do I need to also buy a separate attachment to plug this into the zerk on my uca?
    Thanks

    get one with a flexible hose, mine is rigid and while it works its kind of a pain in the ass to make it fit sometimes

    Definitely get one w/ a flexible hose. Also, be sure to get some degreaser for your garage as grease guns tend to leak a bit after a while.

    On a somewhat related note, you should probably check your driveline to see if you have zerks on it or not. I think 2019 was the last year for greasable drivelines on the Tacomas, so it's worth a peek

    Be careful loading the tube into the gun, you don't launch it across the garage by accident.....

    Lock n Lube Zerk adapters are worth every penny of the upgrade. The press on ones never seal well, especially on cheaper guns. Well worth the 30.00 or so

    ^ This is solid advice. You will launch grease if you're not careful. Be sure to insert the tube correctly as well

    Also be careful when removing the hose from the zerk fitting on the ball joint, I've snapped a couple of zerks trying to yank it off. Sometimes it just doesn't want to disconnect easily and zerks will break with too much side to side force.

    Mine is strange, the handle won't stay open, so takes 3 hands really. I've managed to make it work with a table vise, but it doesn't escape me that failure is imminent at every moment
