Hard to reach zerk

[boazcan]

I have struggled to reach these zerks on the u joints of the pto. I seemed to manage for a couple of years. I got new u joints recently and I cannot get the coupler on the zerk. I would change the zerk, but would have to take it apart to get to it. I'd rather not.

Is there angle coupler or thin wall coupler that I could use on this? No @ one NAPA can seem to find anything.

That one is a nightmare some times.....

I put a angled zert fitting on mine......it was a pain to get it on there but once it was done it was easier to grease.....
just turn the shaft by hand until the end of the grease gun slid onto it....

Right on queue Jim. Thanks.

Do you think I can change it w/o taking apart?

 

[Jim Martin]

I changed mine with out taking it apart....I used a open end wrench to un-tighten it and a small pair if needle nose pliers to un-screw it out..then I had to use the needle nose pliers to get the other one started...it's not fun but it can be done and worth the effort...

This is what I use for the hard to reach Zerk fittings.
