I undid the grease zerk and it's clear - I can pump grease through it, no problem, but when I screw it back onto the end of the shaft, I can't get any grease in. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks guys!!

Sometimes that position will allow the joint to take grease. After all that you can try a KD Tools 416 Ramo-Matic Zerk Fitting Tool. I have used them with success on stubborn fittings.

However, on further inspection the front end of the shaft has the grease zerk broken off and the threads for it are toast. Given it's probably been dry for some time, I thought it might be worth replacing the whole thing.
Can anyone tell me, do I need any special tools for this? | | |
