Legacy Elite II Grease Fittings

I have watched the video Multiple times

I have three zerks that will not take grease.

 

I understand why.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get them to take grease.

 

I am not expecting any real revelation, but you folks amaze me all the time.

I'm sorry but I do not currently have the time to look for the rather long discussions about zerks not taking grease that we have had previously here on the Forum.  Nor have I recently looked at the video.  But, many of the zerk issues can be resolved by taking the load off the  the suspension or making sure that the little ball in the end of the zerk is not stuck shut.  If it is a zerk "ball" problem then the solution is to free that ball by tapping (gently) with something like a "nail set" or replacing the zerk (these are not expensive and are available at NAPA and most other automotive stores and/or Tractor Supply and the like.

Hope this helps!

Don't le me put you out.  Searching prior posts with a key word zerk is a bit overwhelming. I got 187 pages.

I did try that.

I have a lot of equipment with zerks.  Easy to take out and clean.  I don't think the Oliver zerks come out.  Normally I just take a socket and screw them out.  There is no nut-like shape to the Oliver zerks.

there is also reference to the "little yellow Zerk Covers/caps" that has a collar that will fit around the zerks, and the cap which will cover the bearing where the grease is introduced.

"we may have broken some leaf springs to and from Alaska & TUK, but we had the cleanest Zerk fittings on the ALCAN..."
