MobileJoy Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 LockNLube has three right angle adapters. The more expensive one at $16.99 is the one that was linked earlier in this thread. The one I'm considering is this "simple" one at $10.99. The former one is shorter at 0.8" while the latter is 2.15". Anyone have experience with it, or with both? The third one is the push-on adapter that looks like it will not work for the upper zerks. 2021 Elite II Twin #850 "Mojo", 2020 F250 Lariat 7.3L FX4 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the $16.99 one that has a screw on piece and external spring. There are three pieces that are inside the housing. Don't make the mistake that I did and unscrew the piece fully. I lost those three little pieces and had to reorder the piece. I have to finish the job still now that the replacement adapter came. They should warn people to not unscrew that, or maybe everyone except me just knew not to. I don't have experience with the cheaper adapter that you reference. Good luck.

We've been using the straight one that we bought from LockNLube, it hits all 16 zerks with ease and doesn't pop-off.

MobileJoy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I do have to remove the wheels which is why I will use a right angle adapter instead. If anyone has a preference, please tell me as I would rather not have to buy both. 1 2021 Elite II Twin #850 "Mojo", 2020 F250 Lariat 7.3L FX4 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides - I've got plenty of T's! HA! This makes me laugh. We have lots of t-shirts too. We have a big shelf of new ones. I sort used t-shirts at laundry time by work only, (folded really small), car wash rags (go to a bag), and "dressier" tee shirts, which get only a half fold. Work only shirts, pants, and socks go in one drawer.
