Done.
pretty common
Never had one fail? Do you even grease bro?
Get you a damn paper clip and poke around for a little bit. It'll go back to working.
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
Happens a lot on farm equipment
Chrysler product, not a surprise
It did not fail, it has the rod pushed against it , move that rod while pumping the grease and it will work!!
you've never seen the ball come out of a grease nipple?!?
Yep work on diesels and I bet I’ve had some just never seen them.
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.
Ya I constantly see this on ag and construction equipment.
in my 25 years I've never seen one fail like that
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…
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.
Very common when no one greased the vehicle in years.
You have never seen a grease fitting fail ? Wtf.
Just Empty Every Pocket
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.
About a 30 cent fix though
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
Never seen a zert fail, oh bless your heart.
Come on get a job it happens all the time
Yep have had them fail. In the US and Aus
Seen it many times but usually on heavy equipment but occasionally on car's and vans
Back in my millwright days, grease fittings flew out of my supply shed. Almost couldn't keep up with them.
Many times.
Those always fail in my line of work ! Just have to replace it
Vehicles not really, heavy equipment yes
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
That’s the northern life for ya
Amused. As a mechanic in literally futtbuck nowhere, AK, nearly every vehicle I worked on had at least two grease fittings like this one.
I see grease zerk fails often. There's a reason they're usually sold in multi packs.
I've had where they would take grease and shoot across the shop
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
You need a new one to replace it
I have at least 3 grease fittings fail yearly on my tractors. Not uncommon in the slightest
one nice jeep
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.
Yeah, industrial mechanic, lots of bearings. Happens a lot..
grease fitting is missing the retaining ball….thats why its back shoots …:D
It’s a Jeep thing
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.
Youve never seen a zerk fitting fail? 😆
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
It's a Heep thing, you wouldn't understand.
As a proctologist I see it a helluva lot.
stuck internal spring seen so many
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
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
Get a grease cert rejuvenator
