    Been doing this for years. The hole is very small but I add some permatex clear silicone sealant over it anyway. Seals it from leaking and against water and dirt etc.

    Brilliant video , I've bought one of these and am going to do it on all my cars . "Sealed for life" is a stupid term , fine for people who only keep their cars for a few years but we run ours into the ground.
    And if we are serious about consuming less and being greener we've got to repair things and make them last longer and this video is a great help to do that. Thank you so much for this.

    I own a needle just like that and was motivated to try it after watching your video. A few months ago I replaced my lower ball joint with a Duralast ball joint. After driving in heavy rain recently, it sounded like a rusty door hinge every time I turned steering wheel to the right. Boot was not torn and it was firmly in place. I pumped some grease just like you did, sealed the hole with RTV and now the noise is gone. Most importantly this helped me diagnose my problem without spending extra money. Thanks for making the video.

    I keep 3-4 of these needles on hand because it's easy to break or bend them when pushing them through the rubber boot. After sealing the needle hole with silicone seal I spray some armorall or stp protectant on the boots to keep them from getting brittle and cracking and falling apart. I don't want to change ball joints or tie rods ever if I can avoid it.

    • @mpcp27
      @mpcp27 Рік тому

    I just drill a small hole and install my own grease zerk fitting inside . It works with vehicles and riding mowers. And wouldn't take much time and effort then it would to pierce the boot just make sure you get all the metal shavings out of the hole before installing. But if the boot was already damaged then this technique would work just as well. 👍

    Just a quick tip for anyone thinking about trying this, actually two.
    1. Put the hole as close to the top as possible. (prevents a lot of grease from coming out like you see in this video.)
    2. Seal the hole up immediately because you will loose most of your injected grease within the year...

      Moog is junk now!! Federal-Mogul sold Moog to a Chinese manufacturer, (Tenneco I believe) and quality has slipped VERY badly. Parts won't even last a year. Truly garbage. You don’t want to buy ANY chassis, suspension, etc. parts made in southeast Asia... period. Back in the golden years, Moog parts were manufactured solely in the USA, people wrongly assume that is still true today. All the brand names are Chinesium now, including Raybestos, Wagner, NAPA Premium, etc.
      If OEM parts are not an option, look into NAPA's 'Chassis' line (made in the USA by Dana/Spicer). Costs 3x more but much better quality than Moog.

    A NF tap use a #2 then if shallow use a bottoming tap.
    With going into the end cap you put grease where it needs to go.
    Wire bush the cap and if needed Epoxy them in, as they are permanent anyway.

    How about putting the grease gun on the fitting BEFORE you put the needle in the boot.Greasing ball joints 101 grease until the rubber boot is firm NOT until grease comes out the boot.That is overfilling,just damages the boot in the long term.

    Turn end of grease gun clockwise after inserting needle to lock gun end to needle. No coming off after that unless unscrewed. No mess.

It’s just a ball and socket joint lubricated with extremely thick grease. How would tiny tiny chips (and few at that) introduced inside destroy them? I’m beyond confused at this logic.

    I really dont think this works to well you punched holes in the boot and now the grease will leak out and dirt will get in. On the jeep when suspension parts ware out I replace them with parts that allow you to grease them
