Grease fittings on XJ
I need to replace a couple of the grease fittings on the front end of my
'00 XJ. Could somebody please tell me what size of grease fittings I will need? If I've got two that have failed should I go ahead and replace all of them? If I do that how many will I need? I counted 5 in the front end earlier but I think I'm missing some. I haven't replaced these before, is there anythin I should know? Is it as simple as removing the old one and threading the new one in? Thanks in advance Mort |
Re: Grease fittings on XJ
They just unscrew and new ones go in. I usually take one of the old
zerk fittings in with me when looking for a new one. You say you have two that have failed? That is 'very' unusual. I have one lower ball joint in my Cherokee with a 'failed' zerk fitting and I put in another. I still cannot pump grease into that joint, so I believe the whole joint has failed, not just the zerk fitting....

The easiest way is to take one out and go to the auto parts store... you can even drive the vehicle there, it won't hurt if some comes out. __ Steve .. |
