Nipple Greasing

[mazdamazda]

What is it for and how is it done?

[afrasay]

sa mga greasable part ng suspension and drivetrain yan ex. pitman, balljoints, u-joints (crossjoints), etc.

[afrasay]

gamit nila pnuematic grease gun, tutok sa nipple (grease fittings) and fire away. yun old grease ma expel from the rubber cove and in yun new grease.

[afrasay]

anu ba yan, installment. para ma lubricate and protect yun innards ng joints kasi may plastic or poly thingie component sa loob nun.

OT: ako din eh... kaya di ko alam ang isasagot.....

Lubrication of ball joints, splines (propshafts), spiders (U joints).
Nipple fittings are like valves equipped with ball bearing for one way entry of grease.

Sounds naughty

AFAIK this is the way of putting grease on unreachable portions of machines that shoud be greased using gun or other pneumatic greaser.

[simplicity]

ay sus, kala ko kung ano na ito eh. reminds me of something else eh.
nyahahaha!

Sealed-type yata yung mga balljoints ng ibang cars pero usually sa mga dino-tech na vehicles ito. Magpapagrease ka ba ng nipple mo mazdamazda?

You have to look for the 'zerk' fittings. Then you use a grease gun (manual or pneumatic) to force grease into them.

On most newer and light duty vehicles, wala nang zerk fittings/grease nipples. Sealed type na.

Sa mga Pajero/Patrol/Land Cruiser, madami-dami pa (more than 10 ang fittings ng Pajero).

Dati it was around Php14.00/fitting at Shell Retiro.
