How to Replace a Broken Grease Zerk

Overview

A real-time repair walkthrough where Mike and a more mechanically skilled neighbor extract a snapped-off grease zerk from a grapple and install a replacement. The video captures the actual trial-and-error process, trying a screwdriver, easy-outs, measuring threads with a gauge, and ultimately matching the old fitting at a parts store. Useful for anyone facing the same threaded-zerk scenario; Mike briefly notes that pressed-in zerks require a different, more involved approach.
