Get a cartridge, take off both ends, put it in, off you go.
You'll still get grease everywhere because you'll want to store it with the handle down, but every time it moves the handle will open. ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

Posted: 13:19 - 04 Dec 2017 Post subject: grease gun |
|
|
:D perhaps I'm toooooooo old school, but I actually fit grease nipples to my bikes !
As to filling one, mine has the spring loaded pull out rod just like in the picture above with POLAR BEAR,. but is a larger one for cars etc..
When the gun runs out, I clean the pump head end and unscrew from the body.
I buy the smallish tins ( too expensive now wilco, too expensive !!! ) with the plastic plate inside.
I place the tin on the floor and place the gun open end centrally over the tins plastic plate hole. I "pull" on the guns "rod" whilst pushing down with the pump body.
The grease tins plate is forced down and the guns grease camber "volume" goes up, because the rod and piston are being pulled up.
Grease is pushed into the now increasing guns grease chamber volume.
The rod is sprung loaded with an auto lock feature, meaning the grease is not pushed out via the spring loading.
I have performed this "stunt" in front of amazed customers, selling a new greased gun and several tins of new grease.
Its clean and easy when you know how. :D :D :D
For small greaseing, I have an alternative end rather than the standard nipple end. I made a suitable new end to screw onto the grease "tube", with a small diameter hole drilled thru it and a ground taper, or needle like. :karma:
PS waste grease can be rubbed onto car under body, bike etc.......an oily/greasy rag service.........use a rubber ring ( old inner tube, remember what they are like !! ? ) to lock gun handle in place during storage. getting empty cartridges out ( and fitting new ones in ) can be real fun eh ! :D ____________________ nuts about bikes |

The cars i work on are modern, as i stated in the original post, it's about not getting covered in grease more than anything, not about greasing nipples. I'm currently using a brush as advised by you lot, which is better, until i can find a suitable alternative. |

For a small grease gun one to look out for is Wanner. I bought one from a boot fair for a few quid. Simple, long lasting and can deliver very high pressure.
BTW you don't need to use a spoon to fill a non-cartridge grease gun. Stick the end in the grease and pull on the t-handle whilst slowly advancing the tube into the grease tin so it doesn't suck air as the level of the grease drops in the tin. You'll have to wipe over the outside but it fills the gun quickly with little to no air trapped. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
