A grease fitting that doesn’t become stuck to the zerk?

[dlundblad]

I have a lock n lube that I use when room allows.

My traditional fitting sticks to the zerk to the point where it feels I’m going to break something when I pull it off. Naturally, these happen where there’s little to no room too.

Is there something better? Needs to be a small diameter.

Can you loosen the tip ?

Didn’t know they were adjustable!

Most are so easy and smooth to adjust once you are used to it it fits in tighter places than the lock n lube.

Mine isn’t adjustable. I’ll look for one that is.

That is odd, do you have a picture of it.

Seems like it loosens? I’ll have to mess with it later and not my way out the door. lol

if you turn the knurled piece it will open and close the "jaws" in the end of the nipple. This is what allows the grease gun to connect and disconnect from the zerk.

just my $0.02

I ended up breaking it free. Now just to find the happy medium to where it’ll pump in grease without being too loose.

put it on and give it a spin while it's on there to tighten it...

Sometimes when they are new you need to hold it with a wrench and turn the knurled part with a pair of pliers. Once its loose it will spin freely so you can put it on the fitting loose and spin it up with fingers to hold it on, loosen to remove easy.
