missing grease fitting

<< < (3/5) > >>

HOT-ROD:
well there is a metal filler in an RTV type squeese bottle. (you can sand it and paint it FYI) i used it to fill the holes in the winshield frame the i used for the snorkel. it is really holding on to the screws even after i smashed it(snorkel) into a tree. i also used it to fill a small hole in the bumper and cant even tell.

Cheek-Bone:
I would have used jbweld but at the time all I had was rtv and it held it until I replaced it. But yeah jb weld would definatley hold better.

albsvx:
all fixed.

I ended up carefully drilling it out, large enough to fit the next biggest thread sized fitting (which it seems, is QUITE a bit larger)
then, I still didn't like the way it wasn't sitting quite flush, so I used the tube style metal fill putty (probably the same stuff HOT-ROD was talking about.  I'd never seen that before, but it's AWESOME) ... waiting for it to fully cure (2 hours) now before I hit it again with the grease gun, but I'm sure it's going to be fine, until the next time I try to grind it off on a rock.

reg:
maybe we should work on a line of grease fitting skid plates??!  ;D

Its on your control arm right? Is it possible to take the control arm off and rotate it 180deg so the fitting is out of danger??
