]Trying to grease my zerk fittings on my TC UCA's. Grease spits out the sides of the fitting every time. What am I doing wrong?

$32 Allstar Performance ALL14300 Pistol Grip Grease Gun

http://www.amazon.com/Allstar-Perfo...F8&qid=1346890160&sr=8-15&keywords=grease+gun Grease gun I'm using. I greased my drive shaft zerks with no problem but these UCA zerks are no bueno. Is there a smaller fitting on the grease gun that I'm supposed to use? I poked the little ball on the zerk just to make sure it wasn't stuck beforehand.

 

When the tip is on the zerk, twist the tip of the hose to tighten it on the zerk

 

Same here the only complaint is the max volume isn't too loud.

 

I have tried twisting the tip while it's on the zerk. I turned it fully and it still shot out the sides. I'm doing slow, steady pumps. So confused

 

Are you sure the end of the zerk is not being blocked by the bushing?

 

Is there a way to tell without taking off the UCA? I didn't screw the zerk fitting all the way down so that the grease would have somewhere to go. Did I possibly still over tighten it?

 

It should be either flush, or close to flush. Be careful not to go too far, they are known to break off...

 

It's close but I didn't go flush. I have heard they are fragile and hard to get started. The threads on mine weren't that cooperative and took a while to get started. Oh well. I think I'll just have to spend the day taking them back out and replacing them or something.

 

Looks like the zero is centered. And the bushings shouldn't be tight together. I have issues occasionally greasing stuff too. Keep twisting the tip of the hose til it won't twist anymore

 

i think im a little obsessed with my dogs, i treat them like my children! I even let them decide what kind of treats they want!*

 

Ms. Peter North?

 

Look at you, did you catch some air on that ledge? It is an awesome achievement man, congratulations.

 

Been putting off my wheel bearing. Today it broke loose inside and would shift the tire, if i would have gone home a new rotor would be neede. Also had brake fade.

 

Damn! LOL

 

America uses both systems... our booze and other drinks, automobile speedometers have both measurements on them, the military uses metric. That's one of the great things about this country. We use both because we can. When we use our regular stone age screws, you just know to rely on a little finesse to make it work right. Just think when you come visit the greatest country in the world, you will be comforted by knowing just how much booze to consume! you know why we measure land by acres...? Its the approximate amount of land one man can work in a day... ha. Because we can.
