BE CAREFUL WITH STUBBORN GREASE FITTINGS

Post by Joe Gopan » Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:59 am

Heating grease fittings that refuse to accept grease can cost you an eye.
A good friend of mine was heating a fitting on a military vehicle at the Dow Field heavy equipment shop, the little spring loaded ball in the fitting blew out and blinded him in one eye. An simple attempt done by many that resulted in serious injury. Frank is a rated FAA Instructor pilot.
