I am getting my 30 ready for the winter. I tried to grease the fitting on the water pump but it is smaller than a normal fitting. Also is pressed in not threaded. How do I grease this fitting ? Thanks in advance.

You might have an original fitting rather than the Zerk fitting. There was a special grease gun that came in the tool kit. The suppliers have an adapter. A photo would help.

Compare your fitting with the ones shown here: https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...4522&cat=41712
