            I'm not like these new gen techs to wear latex gloves 24-7 but when I repack brgs and such i'll throw them on. Otherwise I end up using 20 rags

                  Maybe the u-joint cavity was filled with 600W instead of grease::

                    Geez, just finished some equipment bearing work and forgot the gloves. They were right there too. Old school, senior moment, etc.

                      Talking about using gloves. While I was still being paid to do mechanic work, like back in the 70's and 80's, folk would come into the shop and ask why I was wearing surgical gloves to work on their motorcycles. I would always tell them, "just because I have to be a mechanic, doesn't mean I have to be dirty."

                            by Tom Wesenberg
                            Here's a tool to unplug grease fittings with old dried grease in them.
                            I used to see similar tools in the stores, but haven't seen any recently.

                            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...

                            Grease viscosity question.........
                            by Apple Green Wheels Rule
                            I use red and I noticed today being hot and sorts, I was looking for something and I open the door to a cabinet that has my grease guns. I notice the grease had leaked out onto the shelf. I guess this would be from being so hot and even hotter in a steel garage. If this is happening to the guns, what about Sarah's joints that take grease? Seems the viscosity is breaking down.

                            Carbonized Grease for Electrical connections
                            by Rob Doe
                            A month or so back, I asked about carbonized grease. Comments were positive. When I installed my distributor I cleaned the paint off the head and the distributor base where they make contact for ground, the condenser too. I applied the grease to those surfaces.

                            Since I had the floorboards out for lubing the throw out bearing this week, I took a look at the battery cables. My car has two...

                            Help - Grease Fitting on bottom of Front Spindle - No worky
                            by getgood
                            First time getting to lubricating the spindles on the car this weekend and ran into a snag.
                            Noticed the lower grease fitting on the spindle wasn't quite seated - attempted to apply grease anyway and fitting came out.
                            It is an aftermarket zerk - verified that it was not blocked and reinstalled - got it about 1/2 way in and reattempted to grease. Same result - zerk came out.
                            No problems...

                            For some reason I don't have a search capability anymore. I was trying to find threads on what bearing grease do you use?

                            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...

                            Grease zerks
                            by Great Lakes Greg
                            I bought the grease gun adapter for the Model A grease fittings, and exactly as I expected, it doesn't work. Grease everywhere except where it needs to go. As I understand it, the press in fittings are 5/16". Is there a modern fitting that will work with a conventional grease gun?...
