Not sure if I am having a problem or not but while trying to grease up my control arms today I couldn't seem to get any grease into one of the arms. I pulled out the zirk fitting and there wasn't a lot of grease behind it, however when I kept pumping, the grease would overflow out of the grease gun tip and go all over the outside of the fitting. I did not have this on all of the other fittings on the different arms. Is there any way to make sure that the joints at end of control arms are lubed correctly?

 

Probably a clogged or bad zerk. Had one on my tractor last week. My front end loader has 6 zerks. One would not take grease. I swapped the zerk and all was good. It took grease.

 

This is what I thought, I pulled the zerk out and greased it while it was free grease shot through no problem. Could they not let grease through only while they are installed?

 

Swap the zerk in the CA that don't want to take grease with a zerk from a CA that did. This will rule out whether or not its the zerk.

 

Don't know why I never thought of this, great idea. Thank you!
