I've got a couple spots that won't take grease even after I've replaced the fitting. They haven't been greased in a while and it looks like the grease is all dried up inside. What do you do here short of taking it apart? I've tried spraying degreaser etc. to try to soften it.

Take out the fitting & spray the degreaser as you dig inside with an ice pick. Fill the cavity up with the degreaser & put the fitting in. If that doesn,t work try heating it up. Sometimes you do have to take them apart.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

drill bits are good for digging out grease and grime.
