i bought one of those 17 dollar grease guns at an auto parts store. Good gun, however im a little confused. The grease cartridge is in and its all ready to grease some fittings. Only problem is...at the end of the pipe where there is an adaptor looking piece and hole i am not sure if that adaptor is a "one size fits all kind of adaptor" I looked in some stores and did not see those pieces for sale in different sizes. So im guessing there all the same. And when i put it to the zerk. Is it kinda supposed to snap around it and hold itself on the zerk or what? i practiced on my warrior...it popped it and held itself in but i had some trouble pulling it out. I had to swing it up and down untll i reached an angle that wouldnt rotate around the ball. Sorry if this is confusing but im an amateur at using a grease gun.

Thanks for any help/warrior

 

on some new grease guns they can be a little tight at first

 

LOL warrior86!!!

I had the same problem!!! never used a grease gun much...(actually never greased the old warrior I had at all)LOL

You should have seen me trying to figure this thing out!!! I had more grease on me and the quad then I did in the bushings!!!

But to answer your question... He|| I don't know still trying to figure it out myself LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I was just glad to see that someone else had the same problem!!!

 

i have a little grease gun too, i have broken 3 nipples off with it, and yamaha ones are like 3 bucks each. rip off! there must be some technique to gettign it off, but i dont know

 

If the end of the grease gun, the part that goes on the fitting, is two piece then you can loosen it up.

Just hold the back part of the tip and turn the front part counterclockwise.

Luckily, mine was two piece b/c I had the same problem.

 

yeah thats what i was thinkin. I saw thatbefore but forgot to mention it while i was at school.

lol raptorman...i had the same experience.

So ill just loosen it i guess. thanks for the help
