That bigger one isn't intended to be used by sticking it into the boot. That one is used to go directly into a zerk fitting or other types of fittings that come on newer ball joints. For instance, I have upper ball joints that have a place to poke that right down the center of it and fill it with grease - done. Great tool, but not for stabbing the boots... too big of a hole. Great vid. Glad you didn't poke yourself. :)

I'm a RN. When you take the cap off a needle, twist it to break it loose. Then it will come off easily and you won't jab yourself. You have a great channel. Thanks.

I just ordered this needle fitting for my grease gun. The ball joints on the front end of my car are squeaking away. The uppers have the zerk fittings from the factory. I pumped those up hoping that would get rid of the squeaking. No such luck. I’ll try to post again after I use the tool . But, the video cleared up a question I had. Thanks so much for making the video 👍

Well actually they did not tell you anything wrong. It is a seal unit. My video is basically showing a way that you can grease a sealed unit. Thank you for watching!

In the UK, on an annual MoT inspection, they can fail the safety inspection for a ball joint leaking grease, so beware as replacing wishbones is not cheap.

@billybunter5575 11 ай бұрын

but surly the grease would come out unless you seal the hole once you put grease in to it

@antonmaier2263 6 ай бұрын

This must be not the first time judging by the grease leaving through holes. The sharper the needle probably less leakage.

I tried it and on one ball joint the grease kept coming out imma remove the silicone and try again what can I use to remove silicone from rubber boot

@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 11 ай бұрын

In your case. You may want to use the small needle and do not pack the boot full of grease. More like half way. If you have used silicone. I would injet in another area. I myself have not used silicone.

You can do it either way. But it is always best to grease Ball Joints and especially Kingpins off the ground.

How long does it take for the grease to leak out the hole you made? And don't tell me it won't leak out! And how do you tell how much damage was done to the ball before you pushed in new grease?

@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 2 ай бұрын

You do not have to pack it full of grease. Just enough to have some inside the boot. Ball Joints show several signs of wear. If you noticed a potting sound when turning left or right. Or frontend may Squeak. You can lift up the frontend and shake each wheel . If you have excess movement. That's a sign of worn ball joints .
