Grease Fitting on Lower A arm broke...
Is there any way to replace this without having to remove the end cap and getting a new one? It is broke off even with the cap on the lower a awm. It is the straight fitting not the l shapped one.

Re: Grease Fitting on Lower A arm broke...
Use a small easy-out (screw extractor). You will have to carefully drill it out so the easy out will fit.

Re: Grease Fitting on Lower A arm broke...
In case you have no easy outs... grab a cheap, worn out nasty philips screwdriver.... a #2 IIRC, and tap it into the hole with a small hammer. Then try to unscrew it.
I have been sucessful many times this way, but, not every time. |

Re: Grease Fitting on Lower A arm broke...
If you broke it off flush, then there should already be a small hole. Left hand drill bit or a small easy out.
