Hi,
I am trying to get the steering ball end at the left hand side of the steering cylinder on my 2007 Mahindra 6500 4WD to take grease. I have removed the fitting and discovered that there is nowhere for the grease to go, the hole does not go to the ball. I have tried two different commercial devices to slam high pressure lightweight oil to the fitting, it is not just clogged. My impact driver can loosen the nut, but the ball stud just spins. I do not want to drill with it assembled, as it would leave chips. My question is, is this a pressed on socket around the ball, or is there a way for me to disassemble it with destroying it? It looks like there may be a circlip, but I can't see or feel all around it to tell. Thanks, Doug
