Well, I got my flush zerks today.... I just couldn’t resist-
I dropped the driveshaft down, took the zerk out to see if the flush would fit. It did, but was to long. I would have to drill out the center of the post to allow access, guessing it would have to be a special drill bit as the post the cap sits on looks to be case hardened. I don’t believe you can grind down the zerk to make shorter as i’m sure the spring that holds the ball in place would be damaged.
I don’t need this since my zerk clears, but thought I would write about it on here if anyone tried to attempt.
Hope this helps someone with their endeavors for this bad design that has to be mitigated by the owners.
