    I actually live about a mile from where the guy who invented the grease Zerk. His house was the Zerk mansion and his gate at his house was spelled Dun Movin’. Pleasant Prairie WI. Is where the house is. Kenosha Co. WI

    Used to work with an old mechanic that called grease zerks "Alemite fittings". Never heard anybody else call them that. Thanks for the great advice Mike!

      Alemite is a brand name for grease fittings and related items. It’s the same as everyone calling tissues Kleenex.

    Thanks so much! I was about to buy new zerks and considered that they may snap or strip. It took longer to drag out my torch than to fix it on my 40+ year old lawnmower. A big thank you!

    I have one that’s giving me a heck of a time. I tried a heating torch right off the bat but it didn’t do the trick. I don’t really want to take it all apart. Now I’m searching through CZcams. Nice little grease gun you have. I suppose I’ll keep using the best trick I’ve found for problems,, persistence.

    I was talking to my brother in law (late 20s early 30s) he was working under his truck doing what ever. I asked him if he was greasing the zerks. He slid out real quick and looked at me mean and said "aint no jerks under here"! Oh my lord, the mind is a terrible thing. That was an obvious fix that I never thought of. Hell I don't know if any of my NEW vehicles even have them.

    Never thought about putting heat on a zerk. I have seen tools that you hammer to hydraulicly force hardened grease though but I think your way is better.

    We call them grease nipples here in australia. Dunno if they are the same as your zerks but grease nipples have a spring & a ball in them & if you heat a spring it weakens them & the ball wont be pushed back against its seat therefor letting contamination in. I think i will just stick with changing the zerk/ grease nipple.

    I honest to God don't know how you guys do this. Not only does My dad have a dump truck company and I grease The trucks and this happens often, I also literally just spent $50 on a new chainsaw bar and chain, because for the last 5 years mine hasn't been cutting right and no amount of sharpening has fixed it to the point where I decided the bar was bad and someone at Lowe's pointed out that I need to make sure it's getting oil and grease and I did not know that that was a thing. I'm buying that grease gun right now

    I tried greasing my casters on an industrial cart & on my welder. Oh, my hydraulic press also has those shielded zerks you know the ones that are a bolt on one side & has a nut with a zerk in the middle with a ring around it. My greasegun wont fit into it. Is there a different size tip for them?
