Hello,
i have all times problems to get the grease in the nipple , witch gun you are using.
With my I need 3 hands that the grease go not on the side

Hi Sukrum, I have a Draper, with which I also have problems getting on and off the nipple. If it gets stuck on, releasing the pressure wheel/ bleeder thingy may help.

I am told that Wanner are the grease guns of the cognoscenti.

I use one very similar to this:



You can operate the gun one-handed and apply the nozzle on the flexible hose to the nipple with the other hand.

I inherited a Wanner, made the 60's I think, but I'd already inherited an unbranded gun from my uncle who used it on his 100E, and I prefer this to the Wanner. I must polish the Wanner up sometime...........

So I'm a two gun greaser.

I use pistol type with rigid tube and 4 jaw connector making it a one handed job, all the grease nipples on my 4/4 sport are pointing in the same direction so with the steering on full left lock all 4 are accessible without the need for a jack

ok i will buy a One-Hand Gun

I also use a Rigid Swivel Tube 3 Jaw Tecalemit (Plymouth England)with Lever Grip, which also has a handy Pressure Release Screw, which I have had for 'donkeys years '

I find that with it having the long fixed swivel tube the overrider brackets can still get in the way buy have just purchased a trolley jack so hopefully the extra height will solve that problem .

With the car Jacked Up it will reach the Upper Nipples Straight On over the wheel top.

Easter is right in that the Nipples need to be turned to allow a perfect 'Straight Coupling' with whatever angle you are working from .

Any slight 'Off Angle' and the Grease will easily escape .

Also the Back Pressure from the Upper Nipples make them hard to fill with my weakening grip.

I have 2..........
a clarke manual and a clarke pneumatic.
pneumatic is the way to go.......
and thats not meant to invite lewdish comments!!!!

But then... why not? hehe!
