Well, the Wanner grease gun applies about 400 bar, and that just didn’t do it. So, taking lots of precautions we decided to heat it up. The grease will expand increasing the pressure. The pressure could rise enough to blow out the grease nipple, well that was our risk assessment. We actually do take time to really consider the risks associated with any ‘odd ball’ stuff we do.

After warming to what we considered to be enough, we carefully laid it down pointing into a safe location. Luckily, we had taken precautions as the ball bearing in the top of the grease nipple literally exploded out with a sharp gun shot sound.

Deema, we need an update on this mystery? Did you machine it out in the end? What was the cause?

@Deadeye, its a friends machine that @Sideways and I are helping him / showing him how to renovate. We are teaching him how to machine….which is a bit like the blind being taught by the one eyed man; our machining knowledge is all self taught and we are not very far up that curve towards mastery He will be doing the machining, and the project waits until he’s free to pop around and we have another go at it. At the moment that’s probably tomorrow.

Great - hope it goes ell. Let us know if it was simply stuck, welded or threaded!
