zerk fiitings...

hey i just got the panhard and lca's with the zerks. i have never used them before and i was wondering what is the best way to put the grease in them? do you just unscrew them and squirt it in somehow or what the install kit doesn't tell how. i have done a search and all i could find was opinions on which types were best.
any help will be much apreciated!!!!!

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and right outside the tool dept.s they have grease guns. Also get a flex hose, a can of clear silicone grease and go to town. Shouldn't run you over $20.

Oh yeah.. you leave the fitting on and slide the end of the fitting into the end of the gun's tube..just have the tool dept guy show you how to work one. It's easy.

This is a pic of a pistol-grip grease gun. I prefer them to the lever-action variety. You'll proably want to get a flexible hose like Ed said. Happy greasing.

Silicone grease unless you want to seal up the fittings per the previous Post.
