Zert Fittings On An 04

You know, sometimes it freaks me out the way things I look into outside this board suddenly end up as someone else's posts. Just today I was reading the grease section in Machinery's Handbook. I must confess, I never knew how much science there is behind grease - methods, applications, and types. I always thought "there's no such thing as too much grease" and "grease is grease"... nothing could be farther from the truth. In the future, I will be much more careful about grease.



I highly recommend reading the dissertation on grease in Machinery's Handbook, if you have a copy (if you don't, your local library should carry it... I'd post some interesting facts from the book, but I leave it at work and now I'm home). A real eye-opener. And I'm sure there are some other excellent more expansive texts on the subject.

Good book heh?

They should call it "Machinery's Bible" instead, and it should be required equipment for every engineer, machinist, and technician out there [just my opinion].



The procedure in there for greasing a component is broken out into 8 or 9 steps from cleaning out the old grease to measuring the grease volume per pump on your grease gun to ensure exactly the proper amount of grease is applied.
