Grease Zerks?

[Midniteoyl]

Leave grease on zerks after greasing. Imo. They wipe off clean the next time you grease. They never rust. The little ball never seizes. And it saves 1/2 of the nipple wiping.
Unless you like to wipe nipples twice as often as necessary.

Oh; and those caps go in the round file.

Why yes, yes I do

I use these covers on everything I own.

I like the design. I wonder how they fit in the tight spaces of a BX? Are they a soft Neoprene or harder plastic that will not hold its form?

Depends on the manufacturer. I have two types: One being a soft flexible material and the other being a harder plastic. I tend to use the soft plastic because they are easier to get on and off and I have more of those. However both work well.

I use these and they are great and work well
Lubricaps

Can these be ordered on their web site?

I can't find anywhere that you can order.

I called the phone number and they shipped right away. These are the same that NAPA sells in a 5 pack for if I remember correctly for a buck a piece. I think I paid 30 bucks for 100. They are a life saver for my back hoe in terms of saving time where I would have normally replace or have to use an injector tool to clean them. Come to think about it since using the caps I have not had a clogged fitting. Thanks John

Those caps started in the street rod area and I saw some at either Summit Racing or Speedway Motors. While I like the idea and have some that came with one tractor, they can be hard to remove and I lose patience.

Understand how they might be just end up aggravating... but thinking I might like the soft plastic/silicone variety that come with a lanyard. I would feel more a little more comfortable pressure washing although the squeeze out areas are still unprotected.

I always grease when done pressure washing and try not to blast sensitive aread directly.

Lubricaps

These are MUCH better than the soft plastic covers that I mentioned earlier in this thread, about them being one-time use mostly for show only. These Lubricaps look very durable. Surprisingly, they're not much more expensive than the throw-aways; about $0.40/each on eBay. I did notice though, that the Lubricaps don't have a retainer ring molded to them.

Like others have mentioned though, there might be an interference issue on some zerks, but the idea of keeping the dirt and water out is certainly worth considering.
