grease gun tip stuck in awkward spot, ideas to get it off?

[E/S]

If it is stuck on that well, unscrew zerk and all.

How would you get a socket on it ?

I would find a bolt that would thread into it. Then use a stack of washers and thread in the bolt and with the washers pushing on the frame and the bolt pulling on the gun tip it should break it loose.

Thread an eye bolt onto the tip, then tie off the eye bolt to the tractor and start up the tractor and extend the backhoe - the next sound you will hear id the tip coming off.

I want to know how you could tell he has a backhoe on this machine from the picture!!!

How about using a plumbers propane torch and heat the grease gun tip up and then try to pull it off?

I agree with diamondpilot , and its probably going to be a fine thread, metric bolt you will need.. zman

Really?

That's funny, I blurted out the same thing out loud just as I rolled your response into view.

If its stuck from being under pressure and no where for the grease to go, I usually knock the pin back enough to expose the inside of the hole, and then it should loosen up.

YUP, I had the same thing happen last week and went through the same pain push the tip down towards the nipple and wiggle until the inside releases and then it will pull off hopefully this helped.

I like diamodpilots idear, grease gun tip thread are 1/4 npt or something like that. Have ya tried locking vice grips on the stubborn tip and pry on the 'grips with a pry bar, tire iron or what ever is handy?
