You could try a small easy-out first. I'm sure someone has one.
-
yep thats what you do, small easy out, she will come right out. The shop dosn't have any, they all got broke. I might, I got to look in the tool box
-
generally grease fittings aren't all that "tight" ... every one I've snapped, I've been able to get out with just a small flathead screwdriver grabbing onto the rough edges of whatever is left.
-
i have a small easy-out some where. aslo craftsman has a kit that works well for loose broken stuff
-
huh, well, it's 12 yrs old. so i'll see what i can do.
-
I just have to find it! It shouldn't be that hard to find, i've only got stuff in 6-10 different locations in my garage!
-
I've got a set you can use, call me this weekend. As far as drilling and taping, There are press in zerks for all size holes.
-
i am going to try to tackle it while i am at the cruise day. that way if something happens, we'll be at a parts store. lol.
but i am sure it is simple, i just want to try to preserve the threads while i can.
thanks mike. if i can find some time, i will def call.
-
got some nice new tap sets at the shop i could prob. borrow one for the weekend.
-
I'll bring Alex's easy out set that have tomorrow so you can fix this.
-
i have been so busy with the change of command.
i forgot all about it lol.
i do appreciate everyone's offer and i'll be ready to knock it out.
