Grease Fittings
I poked a needle into my stock Ford grease fittings ( to make sure they weren’t plugged), but when greasing, I don’t know if grease is entering, it just squirts out around the fitting.
I would like to change the stock grease fittings and install Zerk type. How do you remove the factory fittings an install the new Zerk type ? It seems as though they are just pressed in. Can anyone help? Dave |

Re: Grease Fittings
You can bump the unthreaded fittings out with a hammer and small chisel or screwdriver. The vendors sell replacement fitting sets like this.

Re: Grease Fittings
Getting the old ones out is pretty much like pulling teeth. Grab them with a pair of vice grips and rock them back & forth while pulling.
