I have a grease gun and i have no clue how ti get it to work i know this sounds stupid btw. I Put the tube in and pull the lever back all the way screw the back part on push the lever in and pump the handle but when i pump the handle nothing comes out. What am i doing wrong.

 

You did remember to pull off the metal top thing with the pulltab?
Also sometimes they will get airlocked and it will take a while before the grease comes out

 

it sounds like you have the cartrige loaded in it right? the pull tab is off right? if you said yes to both you have air in it. there's a bleeded screw on the top of it somewhere. open it very slowly and let the air out. have some rags close by.

 

I have the silver tab off and it only loads in 1 way. Do i push the plunger looking thing in all the way or do i just push it in as i go? i have wasted 2 tubes of mobil 1 greese.

 

Look on the end of the grease gun that has the hose attached. Generally there's a screw (plug) there. Unscrew it carefully and let the air purge out of the end of the gun.

 

It might just be the problem is really simple, just keep pumping (thats what I had to do on my dads gun that hadn't been used in ages). I don't think it had a purge for air locked inside, so I just kept pumping and pumping and eventually she blew her load.

 

If there's no bleeder on it, just unscrew the top a few turns.

 

Next time im in my grague i will give it a try. I kinda need to lube my car considering i havent lubed it in about 2 years yes i know i shouldnt let it go that long. I also havent lube my u joints on my drive shaft.

 

The drive shaft joints are probably sealed and don't require lubing.

 

When i was under there last week i saw zerk fittings on it.

 

Someone probably replaced them before. If you see'em...grease'em

 

i had them replaced when my tranny blew and bent my yoke. Are the cheaper ones the one with zerk fittings? When i worked at AZ the ones with a zerk were allot cheaper then ones without the zerk.

 

Might be less expensive to make, but I don't think quality is an issue...but I'm really not sure.

I've only replaced using Spicer.

 

i'm with mike i only use spicer heavy duty u joints. cost around 20-25 dollars.

 

Back to the grease tube: Which end of the gun did you remove to put in the new tube? You should remove the pump head and put the tube in from that end.

I've had plungers that didn't want to feed into the grease tube. Had to remove the plunger end, carefully feed the plunger into the cardboard tube, and reinstall.

You should push the rod back up after you get the tube installed properly. The built-in spring provides the feed pressure on the grease to the pump.
