mazfg Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just wondered what thread size/ type is on the end of the grease cap? Always end up wrecking mine trying to get them off and if i had the right screw/ bolt, I could screw this in and it should come out easily.

mazfg Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes, I remember someone mentioning on here about using a bolt/ screw to screw in and it will pull out a lot easily than the usual polava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 some use a tapping screw through an opened up hole , screw it in and off comes the capwe did the nut idea, used a rivenut and a 1/4 setscrew, some weld a nut on the cap , needs a short setcrew in to block it off and use a long one to drag the cap off. sorry cant find the photo.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Use a setscrew, large coarse threaded one, this always pulls the cap up into a dimple before it comes off so put it over the rounded end of a brush handle and hammer back to a nice rounded shape again.

Richard B Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've been removing them by gently tapping around the rim with a screwdriver and a light hammer.This eases the cap out without too much grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
