Greasing lower ProSteer ball joint

[MacRubi2]

Quick question...
How much grease does this take?
I have the needle to grease it but when I tried I couldn't really pump any in.
Is there any trick to this?

Put it in and pump till you see some grease push out by the stud. Just watch it and pump slowly

Ok I'll give it another shot.....all I got was grease coming out of the needle hole

You might look into a better zerk fitting.

Try turning the wheel a little the other way. If that doesn't work, jack up front end and have someone slowly turn wheel as you pump it. It will go

Unfortunately because of the way these are installed you really can't install anything other than these needle fittings. You wouldn't be able to get the hose fitting onto the grease fitting...

Cool I will give this try

Yeah I was thinking that you might be able to change the zirk if the needle one threads out because I seem to have plenty of room in my ProRock44 to fit the grease gun in but I would rather not screw with it if I don't have to

I wouldn't take that needle zerk out. You can get it to take grease. It doesn't take much at all. Just move the joint a little and it will pop and start taking it.
