Snap Pliers Press
HELP, busted grease fitting, now what do I do?
I have a toro push mower that has zurek(however its spelled) nipple grease fittings on the rear wheels. I have grease gun with flex hose then a screw in grease fitting adapter at the end of teh flex hose.
I pressed the grease gun onto the nipple and it went on just fine. I gave about 3/4 pumps then I started to see the grease ooze out so I stopped. I then went to remove the grease gun adapter from the grease fitting and it was a BEAR getting off. So I grapped a pair of pliers and tried to pull the grease gun off and I heard a snap. Then nipple broke off the grease fittting and the ball ended up in the grease gun. GRRRRRRRRRR
Any ideas? Once the grease gun is attached to nipple, are you supposed to pull it off straight? or bend it out? screw it out?
An EZ-Out should get the broken fitting out of the axle. Get a new grease fitting from a local lawn mower shop. Chances are Toro has their own size.
When I remove my grease gun, I wiggle it from side to side or up and down as I pull.
