TR2/3/3A Grease Zerks

Working on greasing my TR3 and I cannot get grease into many of my zerks. Is there a method to unclog them or do you just replace them. Thanks!

Just replace, IMO. Sometimes you can remove and clean and reuse, but its hardly worth the effort.

Be careful to replace the zerks with the same type -- right angle and such. Otherwise you may not be able to get the grease gun to them.

The failure to get grease into the fitting is not always the fault of the zerks fault. Sometimes the part you are trying to grease is plugged up with dried up grease and rust. Could take the zerk out and try to shoot some grease through it.
