here is one.

They are actually made to be pushed into the rubber of ball joints, cv joints etc to grease them. You can use them on zerk fittings by pushing the needle on the ball check valve on the end on the zerk fitting. Made sure you tighten the needle fitting all the way on your hose so it won't fly off and stab you under pressure. (Lawyer in my head told me to say that,Lol.)

Bip - yeah that's the angled 90 degree type I have that didn't fit. There's one more kind I want to try. I wonder if this will work??

Maybe that last link didn't work. This is what I'm talking about. These things are hard to find locally. It might work...the 90 degree adapter certainly didn't. Jackass yamaha engineers, I tell ya.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Right Angle Grease Adapter

Hey, real quick. I have to go with a 5x8 trailer instead of 4x8, though I wanted more garage room, etc. I have a Dakota, and didn't know if 5x8 would be a problem. Any ideas on that? The roads I go on are narrow, and I'd hate to have something wider than the truck itself. One foot isn't that big a deal, but thought you guys might want to comment. Either 5x8 or wait maybe another few months until after deer season to get my Kodiak!

DMger14 - I suggest you start a new thread about trailers. Real quick as you say, 5x8 trailers are tiny and you'd never have a problem in any situation I can think of.

OK guys PROBLEM SOLVED [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I got a right angle adapter, similar to the one I recently posted a link to, at autozone. It's actually slimmer in profile than the one shown on the link, and was just $5. These are designed I guess for Chrysler vehicles. In any case, I just test fitted it, and it slides right on the zerk!! It is made by OEM Industrial, and the part number is 25720 .

I hope my multiple trips to the auto and hardware stores help you other guys with kod 450's, at least save you that trouble!!
