Replacing pressed in grease fittings

Hey Guys,

I have a Linebach Line disk that has two grease fittings in each bearing on the main shaft. That results in a total of 16 grease fittings. I have one fitting that is apparently damaged resulting in the grease simply coming out of the side of the tip of my grease gun when I try to grease the fitting. Unfortunatly, the fittings are pressed in, not screwed in. Can you tell me how to go about removing and replacing pressed in grease fittings?

Thanks for any help.

Lots of old farmall tractors and implements have press in greese fittings. I have gotten them at both the local Case/IH dealer and at NAPA. They are not cheap - a buck or so each, but easy enough to put replace.

Thanks to all who responded. I have replaced many screw-in type zerks over the years, but I've never had to replace a press-in. I'll go to TSC this afternoon and see if they have replacement press-ins. Because of its location, I'd have a very difficult time tapping it without removing some disks. If I can just tap in a new one, I'd prefer to do that, otherwise, I'll drill and tap.

Thanks again,

Buy some self tapping grease fittings and replace the pressed in zerks.

Hi Tom,

Just grab that zerk with a pair of vice-grips and wiggle it sideways; it will pop right outta there.

Like the others have said, either tap in a new pop-in style in or use the screw in type....lots of sizes available.

Pointed end of a file handle makes a great easy out for this job. most parts houses or farm supply stores sell the zerts and driver or you can tap then use screw in zerts.

Can you grind/drill it out, and then tap the hole and put conventional threaded fitting in?
