    pretty common

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hays10 says:

    Never had one fail? Do you even grease bro?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars runningbear1982 says:

    Get you a damn paper clip and poke around for a little bit. It'll go back to working.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris rinz says:

    Nice jeep! Yes common, try switching up to a dark green oil based multi purpose grease may just be my imagination but seems to not force out the check ball in the fitting as much

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Unlimited Fizz says:

    Happens a lot on farm equipment

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe A says:

    Chrysler product, not a surprise

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maxpowers Powers says:

    It did not fail, it has the rod pushed against it , move that rod while pumping the grease and it will work!!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Traven says:

    you've never seen the ball come out of a grease nipple?!?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Freedom for our fallen says:

    Yep work on diesels and I bet I’ve had some just never seen them.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars don2deliver says:

    Seen it more often with Chinese fittings.
    Years ago a 2 yo Rwd Monte Carlo had a seriously bad lower ball joint with only 22,000 miles. Greased it before replacement and that exact thing happened.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars nikalus grogan says:

    Ya I constantly see this on ag and construction equipment.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars whatthefuckiswrongwithyou? asshole says:

    in my 25 years I've never seen one fail like that

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Sparks says:

    ZERK FITTINGS ….AHHH YES…MY 55's (2) 2Dr Wagons & 57 2 Dr wagon all had zerks…even the generators had zerks…good old daze…

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars boost331 says:

    Its just a ball and spring. They fail all the time. Most modern vehicles live their entire life without anything being greased, so I suppose with basic commuter cars its not that common.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars vern wehr says:

    Very common when no one greased the vehicle in years.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Huntr Buntr says:

    You have never seen a grease fitting fail ? Wtf.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Coty Luckett says:

    Just Empty Every Pocket

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Samael Sandalphon says:

    Sometimes you can poke the ball around if it's still there, I've only seen em get stuck closed, I kinda suspect the valve is gone.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Addison Herbert says:

    About a 30 cent fix though

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars urbansnipe says:

    Grit in the check valve of that said nipple the ball bearing is unable to seat as the shaft spins it deposits any gritty schmoo ingress back into the grease nipple some brake clean, compressed air and some safety squints is the cockford ollie

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Vera says:

    Never seen a zert fail, oh bless your heart.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vincent Demarinis says:

    Come on get a job it happens all the time

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gordon Brodie says:

    Yep have had them fail. In the US and Aus

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Moore says:

    Seen it many times but usually on heavy equipment but occasionally on car's and vans

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Gingrich says:

    Back in my millwright days, grease fittings flew out of my supply shed. Almost couldn't keep up with them.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Doell says:

    Many times.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamy Reignier-Ruel says:

    Those always fail in my line of work ! Just have to replace it

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R Martin says:

    Vehicles not really, heavy equipment yes

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edgar Forsythe says:

    I fix rental equipment happens all the time either they get stuck and won't take Grease or it all just comes out after they take it. Keep up the good work Ray love your channel

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Kapica says:

    That’s the northern life for ya

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Starcloak Starside says:

    Amused. As a mechanic in literally futtbuck nowhere, AK, nearly every vehicle I worked on had at least two grease fittings like this one.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Gowan says:

    I see grease zerk fails often. There's a reason they're usually sold in multi packs.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aiden Ostrander says:

    I've had where they would take grease and shoot across the shop

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dyllin Roberts says:

    As a diesel technician I see that all the time, we have a box of replacements in the shop for when they fail to take grease

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Millis says:

    You need a new one to replace it

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Austin Warren says:

    I have at least 3 grease fittings fail yearly on my tractors. Not uncommon in the slightest

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ur very angry says:

    one nice jeep

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bighappy says:

    Oh yeah, I've seen them fail like that all the time. there is debris that is lodged in the fitting that keeps the check ball from closing completely.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yerbeilisready says:

    Yeah, industrial mechanic, lots of bearings. Happens a lot..

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adrian C says:

    grease fitting is missing the retaining ball….thats why its back shoots …:D

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan S says:

    It’s a Jeep thing

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jose M. Guerrero says:

    There is a tool that you fill with penetrating oil that you attach to the fitting, you then hammer down a plunger and it shoots the oil into the fitting to unstick it, after that you flush out the penetrating fluid with new grease.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Andrew says:

    Youve never seen a zerk fitting fail? 😆

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Wick says:

    Guy must not work on much older equipment. Seems like half the old tractors and equipment that I work on the check ball will get stuck like this

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rewtuser says:

    It's a Heep thing, you wouldn't understand.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dry Gulched says:

    As a proctologist I see it a helluva lot.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars donnie harness says:

    stuck internal spring seen so many

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SpaceCat72 says:

    It's funny how that works. Whoever thought you could wear out a grease gun…… well I have several times..
    Zerk fittings take a s*** all the time.
    You got to replace them you got to dig out the old grease with a pick you have to use a tool to free up these fittings and you got to carry a whole bunch of these fittings too. it happens

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JCcanU says:

    Oil rig dally , Operator 3 -6 times a year just a stone or clay say good by in the 80s they quit adding zerk fittings to drive shafts and ball joints went to sealed . Feel lucky when you can add Grease

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Landon Anderson says:

    Get a grease cert rejuvenator

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duramax Daily says:

    That's a new one for me

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesse Martinez says:

    Oh the humanity!!! 😂

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hank D says:

    This may be off the wall but does anyone know of a good brand for the grease guns? I would buy vintage but they always seem worn out and the newer ones at work will rip the fittings out before releasing the fitting

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Phillippi says:

    It's actually a quite common failure.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars onefixitman says:

    I have worked in multi skill maintenance for many years and these things fail more often than you think. The spring behind the ball breaks or the ball gets debris jammed in it. Just a new zirc fitting and on to the next job.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Maulding says:

    It's a Jeep Just Empty Every Pocket

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave W says:

    Didn’t grow up on a farm did you Ray? Lol

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Standing Against Tyranny says:

    Lmfao 😂

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Earl Scheib says:

    They fail all the time, just replace the zerk fitting.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bits 97 says:

    It's a bad Zerk

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mad Max says:

    Why do you think they sell replacement fittings?

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Man says:

    I see this all the time on the heavy jets I work on. Put grease into one fitting and gear Conde out of the next fitting.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sir FlingsPoo says:

    Proper lubrication techniques on the shaft are an often misunderstood concept by the misses errrra masses

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Panther Platform says:

    That's real common in the rust belt. I'm surprised that's a first for someone who's as accomplished as you are. I still have firsts tho.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Highlights at Eleven says:

    OMG!!!…This obviously is a historically noteworthy industry failure event…with all your years of hands on grease gunning and lubricating experience, the magnitude of scale in numbers, and diversity of industry applications…this must make you question your core beliefs where they have never been questioned before…catastrophic zerk failure…I would never have believed it if you hadn't shown it…get the word out…Godspeed to you…

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Brewer says:

    When they are not cleaned before pumped full, sometimes the ball gets held back by dirt and debris. Hyster mechanic, seen it a bunch.

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Groll says:

    I see all the time and implements with lot of fittings typically from zerk fitting not being cleaned before greaseing and dirt getting stuck in detent ball.

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom schmidt says:

    Heh heh
    Your ball is stuck

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brandon B says:

    Farm equipment seams to eat those.

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars justmehangingmyhat says:

    i am amazed you even found that grease zerk fitting in the first place when i would take my dodge Dakota in for a oil change i would make the service writer write every aftermarket grease zerk on the ticket because if parts my mechanic already replaced failed do to lack of grease he would yell at me lol.

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy Wampler says:

    You know JEEP does stand for Just Empty Every Pocket right?

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Parks YjCruiser says:

    It’s a Jeep thing!

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dez rat says:

    Murphy's first law. anything that can go wrong will go wrong

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darrell Janssen says:

    Chinese "quality"? 😲

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NW BASSHEAD says:

    Broken spring?

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1DJkraze says:

    Wow!! That’s a first for me.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jabo Miles says:

    As a repairman in the mining industry, I have seen that a lot.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HomeyG9317 says:

    Not Good! 😱

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TrPsTrInClLc says:

    spray it with pb blaster torch it and lightly tap it with a hammer, usually works seen guys do it with wax to.
    Either way you could just replace it.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edward Myers says:

    Tiny piece of dirt because someone did not clean the fitting first.

    I fix tractors and see this a lot.

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hunter Vapes says:

    Can you say "Death Wobble"?

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SpankDeezNuggets says:

    The little ball inside the tip is gone…

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M. Port says:

    This is extremely common in construction equipment. Always keep a box of zerks on hand. Not to be confused with the box for the jerk aka operators cab.

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BigBoyNow says:

    Seen it a few times. Push grease in and when you pull off it comes right out again

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven L says:

    I have seen that on HVAC motor bearing grease ports.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Raz Scripa says:

    Ball valve is finals big deal

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars shouldacouldawouldabutnope says:

    funny, title is the story of my life

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Prjndigo says:

    Naw, I've seen that. You gotta make sure the little bastards are CLEEN before you service them, I'd bet the valve pellet flew out centripetal

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jimbon88 says:

    Simple fix. Replace the zerk fitting. You must never have worked on heavy equipment where the fitting gets plugged with dirt.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mudboysjeep92 says:

    Time to change that

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars swampen85 says:

    Sen 100 of them elaking back like that.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Isaiah Raimondo says:

    I see this all the time, on equipment you’re lucky if a fitting last a year on stuff, it’s common place to keep boxes of everything grease fitting known demand on stock.

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Giovanni D. Puglisi says:

    Zerk fittings fail a lot.

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric mansfield says:

    Just junk trash on wheels

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aubrey Stanley says:

    looks like it's time for a new fitting.
