    Clutch and Brake shaft greasing

    I cannot get grease to go into the clutch/brake shaft. Grease fittings check good. Is the grease supposed to squeeze between the shaft and bushing? When I remove the grease fitting and probe around with a scribe there is no opening. Has it been assembled wrong?

    carolinamudwalker It is possible that since the grease fittings were install the pedals were rebushed and the holes were not drilled through the new bushings.

    I have found this in distributors for the oil filler and water pumps. They rebush, neglect redrilling lube holes.
    You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

      It’s easy enough to remove the pedals and survey the situation.

        Grease Fitting and Bell Housing Question
        by dmdeaton
        I am in process of restoring my bellhousing. New pedal shaft and bushings. I removed modern style grease fittings from the pedals and they were not installed very well. Someone replaced the pressed in originals with new style. Looks as if they just wrenched them in the bore without tapping. I would assume you tap with the proper thread size before installing new ones? taper or straight pipe threads?...

        Distributor install
        by BTERRY1
        Currently, my distributor is out. Mine has a 2 piece shaft. Before I install, should I add grease down the hole where they mate up or will that interfere when oiling the distributor regularly....

        Grease coming from back of rear drum
        by Chuck Sea/Tac
        I saw a trail of grease coming from the hole below the grease fitting on the rear of the backing plate. See pictures.
        I have several thousand miles on the last greasing of the bearings, although I may have squirted a couple of pumps in a few hundred miles ago when I did a grease job. This is the first time I’ve seen this. I need to pull the drum and take a look, but I have a pinched nerve...

        Grease Gun Recommendations
        by BudP
        Spring is coming (I hope!) and it's getting close to greasing the 30 or so zerks on the Model A's. For a long time I used Henry Ford's small cartridge gun. Then I bought a Lincoln pump action but many times there just is not enough room to get a good pump. So I am now leaning to buying either a grease gun that runs off a rechargeable battery or one that I can run off my compressor. I am seeking...

        Grease Fittings - Apology
        by JohnB15632
        The shock links that come form from a major supplier come with an angled original grease fitting. I have determined that this is a 3/8" threaded fitting. This fitting hex is 7/16 wrench, therefore, the threads are 3/8".

        I want to go with the modern grease fittings. The largest angled grease fitting is 5/16" that I have found so far.

        Does anyone out there know...

        rear wheel bearing grease.
        by chas1930
        very new to the Model ! vehicles. Inherited from my 95 year old father. 3 yrs ago I did manage to start and drive by myself. So I am learning very slow.
        OK, my question is... rear wheel bearing were installed 4 years ago on the restore process. Now 2,500 miles later I would like to know how to lube them. I think they are sealed but not sure. I see two fittings on the backing plate. Original...

        Where does the grease go?
        by carolinamudwalker
        When I put my transmission in I packed as much grease as I could into the universal joint. Then I pumped grease into the clam shell until it came out the speedometer cable turtle (bolt removed) I just greased the chassis again and the universal joint took forever to fill back up. I don't see evidence that it is leaking out so where does it go?

        Emergency brake cross shaft
        by Fordfordora
        I printed out a sheet for the removal of my emergency brake cross shaft. One of the first steps was to remove the grease fittings. I did not see any fittings so I went ahead with the next steps. After the cross shaft was removed I found what you see in the pictures. Pictured is the frame and a plate that was on the inner side of the frame. Looked for info in a few places but thought this would be...
