I just bought an air grease gun. I am amazed at how many zircs there

and take them down to match up, and buy a couple dozen. Is it worth
it messing with the old ones, and does it work, or are they trash
once they are plugged?

Those air guns are sweet, eh?

Very!


It might not be the zerk , the area that needs grease or the passage leading
to it may be clogged up with , well , crud .

There is an impact tool which cleans them, but it can also inject
dirt, plus it's expensive. http://tinyurl.com/kwgkeqa 43 bucks?
