Anyone know how to get a bushing to take grease that won't? Replaced the zerks, tried moving it while greasing. It's still moving and working just not taking grease. I've been fighting it on and off for a week thinking it will eventually take some but no dice.

Maybe change the Zerk. Is your grease passing through the fitting?

I'll ask the obvious, does your grease gun work? Is the bushing packed tight?

Gun works on everything else, bushing is not packed full of grease.

Take the zerk out and try to push grease just through the zerk. We got a batch of zerks here at work that have tiny little openings in them and are tough to get grease through.

Replaced them already, still won't take grease, they are the big zerks.

Possibly the INSIDE of your bushing where the grease goes through the small cylinder hole is rusted or clogged. May have to totally remove the bushing to find out.

Bushing out of position such that feed holes or groove doesn't align (basically creating a blind feed path)?

^^^ beat me to it

The bushing has turned...you need to drill a new hole in the bushing..a small bit and go slow....

I agree, bushing spun and out of place or passage from zero to bushing clogged.

I've drilled thru a spun bushing before, hereby making a new passage thru it with success before too.

Thank you, makes sense. Do I drill all the way through it?

I drill until I hit the pin, yes.

take the zerk out, put some liquid wrench in, then put the grease gun back on. Will bust up old caked and clogged grease.

First, take off fitting, insert on gun, see if grease passes thru.

Do this, and if grease goes through the zerk, put it back on the bushing.I’d get a three pound hammer and gently tap the area surrounding the bushing.

Go to locknlube.com, can get them at northern tool, Amazon and other farm supply stores.All techs in Prove Design shop at Cat have them in there tool box. Can load up with Wd-40 or solvent and such

Just some "food for thought". If you spray or inject any liquid such as Break Free, Liquid Wrench, WD-40 etc, it will contaminate and break down the grease's properties and may cause more damage with new grease until it is totally removed. Experience can be a strenuous teacher :-)

Whatever you’re greasing throw away and buy a new one. Problem solved!
