| Typical grease needle will have a
zerk fitting on one end to work with almost any grease gun. This makes
it easy to use two grease guns to install 75% Swepco grease and 25% Belray
grease, as often recommended by many off-road enthusiasts. |
 |
| These grease needles make it very easy to get
grease in all tight areas of the CV, packing it thoroughly without having to
touch the grease. Be careful with the needle, they can be sharp.
These needles are usually available at a good auto parts
stores such as NAPA, Auto Zone and Pep Boys. Print this page and take
it with you in case you need to ask someone where they are located.
If you use Bates Boots on your CVs, allowing you to slip
off the CV boot without loosening the CV bolts, these grease needles can
make it quick a easy to squirt a little extra grease into the CV joint
mid-season to insure the joint doesn't get dry with high usage. |

| Although the universal zerk fitting make it
easy to use from one gun to another, it can be a problem keeping it attached
during use. There are two ways to help prevent detachment.
1. Use duct tape. After installing the zerk into
the gun hose, wrap it with tape. Make sure the surfaces aren't greasy.
2. Remove the zerk fitting and screw the needle hose
onto the gun hose. |
