Well this arvo has been a dud.
Spent all of it so far fighting to get both grease nipple and grease gun to actually put some grease in the new propshaft.
Took a little while to clean the nipple free of old grease etc, but if I depress the lickle ball I can blow, and suck, through it so I know IT works.
But can I get the grease gun to force grease into the prop?
Nope.
Have dismantled the end of the gun to see whether there is any way of tightening the nipple attachment holding thingy down onto the nipple, like it shows you in a you tube I found. did that work?
Nope.
I have tried layers of kitchen paper over the nipple as that gets my one in the UK to work. Did it?
Nope.
And the stupid thing is, that if you take the nipple out, which is easy peasy, all you really need to do is to somehow simply get grease into the little hole.
So next Wifey and I are trying to find some way of making a tool to do this.
Of course if I was in the UK I have a range of syringes which I could use, but here?
Nope.
