Grease zerk replacement.

[BufordBoone]

Got a grease zerk that won't take grease. I've got one of the tools that you put oil in and tap the piston to clean the zerk. Although it has worked on others, it has not on this one.

I've been unable to unscrew it using wrenches and, next a pair of vice grips.

It is the zerk to grease the quick attach piston for the bucket/grapple, etc.

Anyone think a bit of heat might help?

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Are you able to slide the piston partly out and pump grease in to blow the blockage out, then push the piston back in?
Some times a pin on the loader will refuse to take grease and this method is very effective for me.
