Grease zerk

[Joe Afonso]

I broke 2 grease zerks on main landing gear on 1962 m20c. Anyone have any ideas on how to replace and the thread size of  Zerk? Looks like a very small ez out is needed.

try this - ez out, thread chaser and socket all in one!

Not all zerks on the landing gear are threaded.  Some are press-in.

Or be the hero on the field and get the whole kit with the tools.

On my 62C they are threaded. I recently replaced them with the following:

To remove the old remnants, I used a 1.5mm hex and applied very slight side pressure. Both came right out but of course you have to be very careful not to break the hex/Allen wrench off inside. Both came out with zero resistance, simply unscrewed.

Suggest a LockNLube so you don't break the new ones.

I remember those days. I solved that problem...
