★ Essential maintenance part for all grease points where straight grease nipples cannot be reached with the grease gun. The 90° design ensures proper lubrication of all chassis components.
Installation notes
Remove old or blocked nipple with 5/16" or 8mm socket. Apply light thread-locking compound to the thread if required. Fit the nipple so that the opening is accessible for the grease gun head. During first lubrication, check that grease actually reaches the bore and does not escape around the nipple.
Compatibility
Please note: US vehicles generally have 1/4"-28 SAE thread. Some imported components may have 6mm or M10×1 metric thread. Check existing nipple before replacement. Select angled version (45° or 90°) based on available space and accessibility for grease gun head.
Historical context
The Zerk grease nipple (named after inventor Oscar Zerk) became standard on American military vehicles from the 1930s onwards. Regular lubrication via these nipples was crucial for reliability under combat conditions.
