2017-01-07 Relay Arm Zerk Fitting

An Fjrforum peep is experimenting with installing zerk fittings into the relay arm. I just serviced my relay arm for Naomi. So I took a chance and bought one off eBay.

Here it is. It looks well worn.

Not what I was hoping to see. I'll be buying pieces and parts for a rebuild.

Yuck.

A peek at the needles.

This one not too bad.

Not pitted, yet.. but hard surface is worn.

Oh well. Took an eBay chance and lost.

I tried to drive a bearing out with a hammer and socket.. But wasn't doing much other than ruining the socket so I quit. I'll find a press.

More later.
