So I was out with the grease gun planning on lubing the rear swaybar links on my 2.5" TF lift. I went to remove the end from the zerk fitting and SNAP! the fitting comes off in the end of the grease gun!!

I got that out and started to wonder about the other side and low and behold it's already broken off!!! I'm assuming the threaded portion is still stuck in both of the holes. Has anyone else had this problem? And suggestions on a fix?

 

with proper clearance, an easy out and a drill will take them right out. I had one break off on my tie rod end and I got it right out. Then I used the flat style zirks in their place which corrected the problem. Hope this helps!

Good luck!

 

Well at least she didn't throw it down the disposal, lol...

 

 

rattle rattle!

 

Remove the swaybar link, try using a eazy-out or a drill to remove that broken piece. I can send you a replacement zerk if you need one, just pm me your info.

 

I'm always breaking those things. I can usually get them out by gently tapping a small slotted screwdriver into the broken end and twisting out.

 

X2 I use a small phillips to get them out when I brake them!

 

x3 - I have a small ez-out that I use , usually comes out "no problem". They usually break cuz they were impacted, not because they are stuck so if you can get some kind of hold on them as described above they will spin right out.

Good Luck

 

Try flipping that sway bar link - It looks like the zert could impact the swaybar. Mine are located on the tp and bottom of the link (not on the side).
