Thank you for this! I have always wondered what I was doing wrong when air was trapped inside rendering the gun useless. Really appreciate your videos on everyday homeowner problems.
Thanks again for watching!! I appreciate it and I'm glad this helped!
Yes i have tried to put the tube in backward also the adjustment at the end of the hose for the fitting will make it easier to slide on and off the fitting
Am an old retired mechanic but I still learned and appreciated your video!
Thank you Larry! I appreciate you watching!
@@dwcoffey pppppppp

Thank You!!!! Have an old grease gun and never saw my late husband change one out. ( l learned a lot from watching him and holding tools!)
I had put mine in backwards and spent over an hour trying to get the spring pushed in! LOL Finally came up from the barn and found your video! Now my brush hog zerks are all greased and the wheel turns as it should! Ya made an old lady's day!
That's fantastic, Carol! Thank you for watching!
Grease guns have vexed me over the years and contributed to my learning to swear in a number of languages.
Thanks for this!
I know the feeling! haha. Thanks for watching, Keith!
It's been a while since I used my old grease gun, but I need to use it this week and I had forgotten the fine points of putting in a new cartridge. I probably would have started by trying to unscrew the wrong end, with predictable, if not disastrous, results. I appreciate the clear, easy-to-see demonstration and the tips on how to deal with air bubbles and leaks, and the reminder on being careful to not lose the rubber seal. The most essential basic tips for everyone are (1) wear rubber/nitrile gloves and (2) do the job over a trash can with a liner, preferably outdoors.
Thanks again for this well thought out and very useful video.
Thank you so much for watching and for the nice comment! I totally agree with your points!
The rubber ring came out with the old cartridge so glad you showed where it goes. Thanks!
Those gaskets are bad about sticking to the tube. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, You included removing the old grease cartridge. My days of being covered in grease are over
Thank you for watching, Jack!
Hello Dennis. Thank you ever so much for showing me how to load a grease tube. I've had two of them for years and have never known how to properly handle the installation properly. Even the guy at Tractor Supply was of little help.And now your UA-cam is invaluable to me and everybody who comes across it because this is a thorough "how to" video on exactly the proper way to load a grease gun. I'm gonna go back to Tractor Supply for a new tube and finally be proud of my grease gun, cocked and loaded and finally my zerk fittings get what they deserve. THUMBS UP!!!
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind comment and I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. I have use the grease guns for years but for about twenty five years i never touch them. So watching your video refreshed my memory. Appreciated it, Thank you.
I'm glad this helped...we all need a refresher every now and then. Thanks for watching, Jim!
For a techno-dumb like me with no one to help that was the best COFFEY I had this morning! Thank you.
LOL! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for straight forward easy to understand proceedure. Grease guns have been my bane at the end of maintaining my boat trailer. One hour to change the hubs, several hours to get the grease gun to work to grease the suspension grease points. Thanks again
Thank you for watching, Edwin! Yes, these grease guns are useful tools for sure, but only a few of us change the cartridge often enough to remember how to do it without a mess....haha. I'm glad this helped!
I needed a father like you. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and I'm glad the vids help!!
This hit me hard…
One of the rare detailed and helpful tutorials about standard grease guns, thanks a lot. Most people posting grease gun videos have no clue about air being trapped in the tube and they never mention loosening the tube about quarter or half turn to let air out before pushing rod back in. Also, most people posting negative reviews about grease guns don't know how to load and use it properly and blame malfunction on manufacturers.
I agree completely! Thank you so much for watching and for the nice comment!
Meh, many people post negative reviews because the gun is merely low quality junk with poor tolerances. Sometimes the cheapest thing on Amazon is false economy. As far as not knowing how to load one properly are you kidding? There's really only one way you can get it together and have it work, is not so much unlike using a caulking gun. It's fairly obvious the open end has to go in first, fairly obvious the plunger has to be pulled back, fairly obvious it has to be released, so all that usually remains is pumping a few times to evacuate the grease quantity in the tube to get TO the air to get it out too.
@@stinkycheese804 You would think, but a lot of people really don't do what they are supposed to do. I haven't used my grease gun in years and sort of forgot the method. Yep, believe it or not I needed a quick review. The bleeding the air part is something I never knew. I would just pump until the air came out and I saw fresh grease. Learn something new all the time. I only use my grease gun for my boat trailer. Haven't used it in a few years and just finished packing the bearings. Need to replace the grease.
@Bee Bob, I agree. That's what makes videos like these worth doing. Everybody needs a review now and again...especially on items we don't do daily. I have many channels I subscribe to for things just as that.....tasks I do, but maybe only once in a while. I'm glad to have a resource that can give me a quick review and save me some time and money. Thanks for your support!
That pointer about the seal made watching the video well worth the time. I never would have thought to check for it. Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks Dad! At last an explanation to the mystery of the mighty grease gun has been answered! You are awesome (and I did not have a Dad growing up in the '60s) - so I missed this lesson. Well done!
Thank you for watching, Kevin and I'm so glad this was helpful!!
Thanks. As many times as I've done it, it still feels like the first time. That tension spring always gets me.
Me too!....That's exactly what made me do this video...haha. Thanks for watching Raul!
Have watched several videos on this and yours is the best by a mile. I am new at this and have never loaded a grease gun so I went to UA-cam and with your video I am now confident that I accomplish the task.
I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching, Erwin!
Thanks for explaining how to reload my grease gun. It's been a while since I had to change a grease cartridge and your video helped a lot. I appreciate your help.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it.
Thanks for a very thorough demonstration. A lot of detailed info. Very helpful. I've always had problems with these damn things and I think you solved the problem with the air being pushed out. I wasn't doing it right. Thanks again, Carl
Thank you for watching, Carl!
Couple of add ons here from a guy who consistently makes a total mess of this every time: 1. Be very very careful with locking off of the spring loaded rod: it usually will release right when you are trying to screw on the pump top, spewing grease everywhere. 2. older equipment zerks will have dried out grease if under maintained. You may need remove the fitting, clean it out, flush it with fresh grease. Some brief heat helps too. Also if it’s dried out in the zerk, it’s probably dried out on the pin and bearing surfaces. So you may need to pull the pin, clean both the sleeve and pin surfaces and re-grease. 3. If you have your grandfather’s grease gun it may be so old it cannot use a cardboard grease tube and has to be manually filled with grease. Good video!
All good points! Nothing worse than either shooting grease everywhere or shooting the tube across the shop! haha Thank you for watching, George!
Good to know thank s George
Hey thanks. This helped a whole bunch. I haven’t had the need to reload my gun for over 20 years. The cartilage was stuck in the tube but this vid help me get it taken care of. Thanks again.
I'm glad this helped! Thank you for watching, Doug!
Nice presentation. Also great info re: when you have air in the gun and how to get rid of it. Seems I always get a little of it no matter what. Thanks for sharing..
Thanks very much for watching!
Thank you for a simple demonstration. It was a Great help to a widow trying to do some more simple maintenance of my older riding mowers. I had no idea how the grease hun worked.
I'm so glad this helped and thank you for watching! I have several videos covering different topics on riding mowers, specifically Husqvarna riders, maybe those will be of some help too. Thanks again!
Thank you Dennis for this video. this worked perfect to change the grease cartridge in my small gun. The tip for the air release and to DO it over a garbage can are spot on. now im off to clean the grease blob off my driveway! I wish i would have clicked on this video first would have saved me the hassle!
Great point! Thanks for watching, Ariel!
Thank you Sir. I thought my greaser was broken but it was just air!!! God bless
Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
Thank you for this video. I am way behind in maintaining my equipment and this tutorial will save me good deal of effort.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you!! After multiple other videos, including the manufacturer, I was able to get a new grease gun working. I have subscribed to your channel too. I like your no nonsense approach to instruction. Thanks again!
Thank you for watching, John and thanks for subscribing!
My supervisor would never buy the prefilled cartridges, we had to bulk fill grease from a 5 gallon tub of grease. Same method as your video, which was excellent, except for the mess. That's something I don't miss in retirement!!!
Thank you for watching, Gary! Yes, filling these from bulk buckets is the worst.
Meanwhile the time & mess involved with manually filling the cartridges probably negated the "big savings" over buying a case or two of the cartridges all at one time. If you were using THAT much at work, the boss should have invested in the economical 55 gallon drum size of grease and grease system like the quick lube places use.
You can't imagine how excited I am in finding this video. I have one of those grease guns from back in the early - mid 60's and never knew how to fill it. I didn't even know it took a tube of grease. I thought you spooned it in my hand ... I won't go into how that has worked out LOL. Now I need to clean it up and see if I can resurrect it.
Sounds like a great project! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Dennis very well done- the little inportant things you covered[rubber seal being stuck]realy helped me out! looks like the other guys had rubber seal problems. I had watched another video that didn't have the rubber seal tip .Glad I found your video
Thank you for watching, Paul! I appreciate you commenting too!
Thank you sir! When I’m in doubt I look on UA-cam and find a man with a mustache, I know you want steer me wrong! 😎 Thank you!
Wow!! Thank you Nick!! I really appreciate the kind words! Thanks, as always, for watching!
Thanks again every time I need change I watch this as A refresher cause I all ways forget which way goes and few other little things like bleeding it...I don t change in very often..
Thanks for watching, Todd!
Very well explained. Definitely helped me. I always put this together wrong until now! Thanks!
Thank you for watching, James!
Thanks for your patience and tutoring, I got to get those gloves !
Thanks for watching, Carlo! Yes, I like my gloves. I appreciate your comment!
Great video on how to load a grease gun. Just the information I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, James! I'm glad this helped!
Such a simplistic idea but changing one of these for me has anything but easy! Your video should help me get it right. I can't wait to change the grease next time. All joking aside thank you for helping!
Thanks for watching, Sherryann!
Very good video, Mr. Coffey. Most people who use grease guns would probably think "DUH" if they took the time to watch this video, however, "THEY SHOULD NOT"!!! I've used grease guns for decades, but on far too many occasions, I've tried using a gun another person had refilled/used (tried using) before me & I had to take it apart, clean it out & replace the tube because ??? & of course, I wound up wearing quite a bit of grease. You wouldn't think putting that cartridge in upside down (backwards) & venting it would matter much, but if that previous user wasn't mechanically incline & was incredibly impatient, you can have a real mess on/in/all over your hands & most things near you. THANK YOU, SIR!!!
I totally agree Sonny! Thank you for your kind comment and for your support!
A very good informative video for those who don't know the proper way to load a grease gun. I have seen a lot of folks, even here on youtube that say, Oh don't need no help... how hard can it be. Then I cringe watching them struggle with a confused look on there face trying to put the quick pull tab end in first... just not goona happen!
Great vid and more should watch this demo! 🛠️👍
Thank you so much, Don! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the video! Now, I can reload the grease gun to grease the fittings on the lawn-tractor!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
I can never remember how this is supposed to be done when I need to do it ... maybe once a year. Thanks for the great explanation, Dennis!
Thanks for watching, Sid! Same, that's actually what got me to do the video haha!
buy a tractor, you'll get a lot of practice on this.
@@dwcoffey Meanwhile ... one year later ... time to reload the grease gun and ... had to watch it again! We'll see if I can remember next year, LoL.
"... ok, what did Dennis say? Was it cardboard end first, or ... dang, I'll have to go back and watch him again!"
I bring your video up everytime I need to change tubes! I just don't use that much. So each time I am relearning it. Thank you!
I'm glad this helps! Thanks for watching!
A great quick video and in simple terms to understand. I will now remember to keep the seal ring. ive bought 2 so far.. haha..
Thanks for watching Tim. Yea, I can't tell you how many times I've nearly thrown the seal away.
Yay! I managed with soooo much less mess. Thank you. I've watched several of your very helpful Husqvarna videos, too.
Great job!! Thanks for watching my vids!
All of your videos are top notch! Thank again.
Thanks for watching, Thomas! I appreciate your support!
God Bless ya Sir,...you have no idea how many times I got grease everywhere and could never figure this out. Thank you so much, I subscribed and saved this video to watch again soon, when I hff ave to replace my grease.
Thank you for watching, Bill! I'm glad this helped!
It also helps to loosen the pump a few turns from the tube before pulling the rod back to refill.
Thanks for watching! Great tip!
Well done! I have the exact grease gun and this will help me with making sure the air is out of the system!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. You seem like a very patient kind person
Thank you so much Russ! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment!
Hi Dennis. Thanks for this tutorial. It’s saved on my phone and I refer to it every time I reload my grease gun. Cheers! Joe in Australia
Thank you for watching, Joe! I'm glad this comes in handy!
NOW I find this! :O Yesterday, when I loaded my grease gun, I had literally half of the grease in my hands.
Thanks for watching, Zog! Yea, I wish you had found it before the grease incident! :)
back in the day (long long ago) that was how you did it. some things have actually gotten better.
That was very informative. Thanks.
Thank you Kris! I appreciate you watching!
Real good info! You Aced another task, without the B.S., AGAIN!
Thank you so much, William! I appreciate you watching!
great info. I bought a coffee roaster and was told to buy gun and grease. Ordered it, came..had zero clue lol. Luckily my buddy how is a race mechanic popped over lol
Thanks for watching, Rishi! I appreciate it!
I've had this same kind of Grease gun since I was a kid...It was my dad's and I've always hated when I had to fill it...I'd get it to work but I'd have grease all over....Thanks for the Video Dennis....BTW I got my Husky Lawnmower Straighten out today thanks to you !!!!
That's great! Two for one! :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks to you Dennis, after 30 years of filling my grease gun by removing it from the tube and pushing it in with a putty knife (embarrassed) it will be a pleasure to do it the right way, i can't wait to try it. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, Tom! I'm glad this helped....yes, you'll find this a lot quicker and a lot less messy! LOL! Trust me, I've worn my fair share of grease! haha
After doing it wrong for 30 years, you’re a master at it now, why change the way you’ve done it your whole life now?
@@ralfie8801 Because it's too sloppy and messy.
Thanks . Found my fathers . He said he never refilled it in 50 years and it’s about to get refilled today for u joints and drive shaft
That will be a nice grease gun, I suspect! Thanks for watching!
Very well explained! Thank you! Most guys don't say WHY they are twisting the plunger (my unit doesn't have that style of "catch" so it made no sense to me), or how it's different if you have the valve on top
Thank you for watching, Hazel! I 'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the great tips. Never could figure out why I couldn’t get it working properly! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for watching, Jim!
Very well done, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you very much Bob. I appreciate you watching!
Thank you for showing all the facts,
I bought several vintage types and none had any tubes in them they were all clean,
I filled one with greese never new you place a tube in them lol,I do now,
Thanks very much for watching! I'm glad this helped!
Lol its sound funny but till know i have my grease load without the tube never knew we were suppose to leave the tube in it
I've never used a tube in mine ,just put it in a pot of grease, suck it up ,bingo ,bought a new 1 tube filled gd ,went to put a tube in my old gun ,won't fit too small
That was a great explanation on getting the air out so the gun will pump grease out instead of pumping nothing! Good job buddy!
Thanks for watching, James!
Perfect demo and verbal explanation. I like your easy going mannerism. Thanks.
Thank you David! I appreciate you watching.
Thanks Mr C!!! As elementary as this is I couldn’t figure out why mine kept leaking. Turns out my pump was missing the seal at the top when I bought it! 😂 thanks again!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad this helped you figure out the problem!
Dennis. I truly appreciate your programs on husqvarnas. I have a zero turn and ? all of a sudden I can't remember. It could be
LTG 2645. At any rate, you've been very informative.
I'm glad to know these are helpful! Thank you for watching, Susan!
Thanks so much for this. I've been doing it wrong for years. Had to load a grease gun yesterday and I had it all over the place. Next time it should be a breeze!
I had the same problem, that's what prompted me to make this video...LOL! Thanks for watching, Gary!
Thanks for unveiling the mystery of reloading this common mechanic's tool. My grease gun is currently lying out on the driveway from futile attempts at properly reloading the darn thing. Guess I'll give it another try now.
Thanks for watching! I have to admit, I've sent more than one tool flying in the past. LOL!
@@dwcoffey If only you understood what your doing wrong.
I'm always about learning, please enlighten me.
@@dwcoffey Before Pulling the rod, on your greese gun loosen the tube about 2 turns to keep it from pulling a vacuum in the tube as the plunger is withdrawn, there should be a small hole that is exposed to let air in or out for this purpose, by loosening the tube.
Thank you very much for the video, now I know about the air and the position of the cartridge
Thank you very much for watching!
This video was really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you Jack, I appreciate you watching!
I will have to follow this next time, I hate to change my grease gun because I make a big mess and have a difficult time to make it even work, sometimes I get lucky. I can see things I have been doing incorrectly now, thanks again.
Thank you very much for watching! I'm also a ham, WA4YYQ.
@@dwcoffey That is great to hear, maybe hear you on the bands sometime!
great step by step, have older gun not used for awhile, this answered ALL my questions
Thanks for watching, Paul!
My grease gun is just like yours. Bought it when i was 17, 65 now. still use it.
Thanks for watching, Frederick! Mine is nearly that old.
OMG!!! Shoulda watched this before I struggled with my grease gun. I actually pulled out the rod/spring assembly entirely, loaded the grease cylinder, tightened the top/pump end and then MIGHTILY FOUGHT AND STRUGGLED with jamming the plunger/spring assembly back in and fought to get it threaded while the spring tried to push out the side. Grease all over the place, Smeared up many gloves as I tried to get a grip and turn it while the spring pushed back so hard. Thanks for this clear explanation. Next time... LOL!
LOL! I think i had a similar experience that led me to make this video! haha. Thanks for watching, Michael!
Damn, learn something new every day, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us all! Was totally loading my gun wrong my whole life, doah.
Glad this helped! Thanks for watching, Jeremy!
Hey Dennis, I used a grease gun for years and through trial and error I found a way to quickly reload a grease gun that is similar to what you do but I never had air in the grease pump or lost prime on the grease pump. When you pull the plunger back without unscrewing the tube from the gun, you can suck grease out of the grease pump thereby losing the prime.
Like you, I work over an open trash can with a couple of rags placed in easy reach. Now, assuming the grease gun is empty, grab the pull handle on the bottom and check the plunger is at the top of the tube, confirming the grease gun is empty. Leave the pull handle alone now and unscrew the top of the grease gun like you did and set it aside. Now manipulate the pull handle to push the empty cartridge out of the gun. Pull the handle out now and lock it. Insert the new tube like you did. Now screw the tube onto the grease pump but only a turn or so. Release the pull handle and slowly turn the tube fully into the grease gun. My grease guns, and I assume most grease guns have a small vent opening on the side of the grease pump top that allows air and grease to discharge. When the tube is fully screwed into the gun, the vent is sealed. Now the gun will continue pumping without any air problems.
Thanks for watching, Mark! Sounds like a great way to do it without losing prime on the pump. Thanks for that!!
I totally agree with you. If pull the plunger out first with out removing the head you suck grease out of the pump and air in causing an air lock.
Excellent video. thanks -- it's been years since I loaded mine that is now missing.. just bought another
Thank you for watching!
Absolutely helpful for people never doing this before. Many thanks!!!!
Thank you for watching, Thomas!
Been years since Astro Van was lubed, 7 different fittings. Novice excluding air in 1 of your sequenced steps; thank you ( and towvan ready Sobo if I can locate companion ).
Great video thanks. I've always struggled with this task - and some great tips, very useful.
I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching, Rob!
Dennis... Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you Richard! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks you.......you gave me a Hint for what I needed too know, it has Air inside....that the reason it's not pumping the Grease out.....I thought it was broken , you saved me some money.
Fantastic! Thanks for watching, Christopher!
@@dwcoffey it worked and hopefully I want forget this step, clearing the Air out....
I've always struggled with this, I won't be struggling anymore, thanks much, I learned something.
I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching, Christine!
Good demo Dennis, thanks. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub, Daniel!!
Thank you for the great, basic tutorial and on a subject a lot of us home-mechanics appreciate. Would like to see more videos on your Honda Shadow. Almost finished putting my Shadow ACE together. Still have to balance and sync the carbs as well, but it will be ready for Spring. Cheers brother
Thank you, I really appreciate your continued support! Looks like I'm definitely going to be doing another video on the ACE...I just found a small oil leak. Might be replacing the head gaskets. Sounds like great progress on your ACE. Congrats and I hope the rest all goes well. Thanks so much for watching!
FYI. My bike has just over 20K (2003 ACE). While changing the clutch pack, noticed a sloppy oil pump, drive chain. Couldn't find service specs anywhere on this part. After replacing it, noticed an immediate difference in the slack of the chain. Also, after removing the "highway" pegs/bars, noticed a motor mount bolt had fatigued and was half snapped at the bolt end. Suspect it was because of the highway bar mounting point in relation to the bolt. Just some things to keep in mind.
Thanks for that info. you did a good thing by checking all adjacent parts and bolts. I do the same whenever I have any work to do on mine....I'd rather take extra time to check.
Good to hear that brother. Heck, our paths may cross some day, so keep it rubber side down. Cheers
Thanks for the great video. I wonder how many people have shot empty grease tubes across their garages?
I know I have! Thanks so much for watching!
Many thanks for your videos. Very helpful!
Thank you very much for watching! I'm glad the vids are helpful and I appreciate your comment!
You are a good teacher.
Thank you for watching and thank you for the great compliment, Jerry!
Thank you. Worked perfectly
Thanks for watching, Rob!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, Cindy!
Thanks Dennis, I had to re-watch your video as It has been awhile since I changed a tube of grease, cheers
That's often the case, I think....we go so long without having to change the tube, we need a little reminder. Thanks for watching, Andrew!
Thank you! Very useful !! Won't make a mess anymore....
Thanks for watching!
Always fudged around with grease gun. Thanks. Very good.
Thanks for watching, Brad! Its one of those things we don't do often enough to remember how its done. I'm glad this vid was useful.

Very helpful, thanks!
Thanks for watching, Gerald!
Good video, thanks. I'm starting to do more of the maintenance on my truck and my camper. So this was helpful. I had not used one in a while. Looks like your gun is from tractor supply, it's the same as mine but I got the pistol grip version.
I don't remember where I got this gun from.....Thanks for watching, Michael!
Thank you for your time!
Thanks for watching!
Hot dam! Well done sir. Been using grease guns for 50 years. Sometimes they work well, sometimes not.
LOL! Yes sir, that is the truth! Thanks for watching, Carl!
Well done. VERY helpful! Thank you.
Thank you Luis! I appreciate you watching!
Great job explaining this thank you !
Thank you for watching, Burt!
I'm not trying to be disagreeable but I always unscrew the pump end of the tube off first because if you pull the plunger back first it will suck the grease out of the pump. If you unscrew the pump off the end of the tube and lay it aside then put your cartridge in when you screw it back onto the pump leave it loose at first until you push the plunger back in to help expel any air that's in the end of the cartridge and then you won't have to reprime the pump... Just my two cents from my own experiences.
That's a great tip!! Thanks for watching!
NMX 777 You would be correct that’s what happened to me the other day I had to unscrew that screw to let the air out and yes I had a little mess on my hands oh my gosh
Agree. I’ve always done it your way. When I saw him pulling the plunger first, I thought uh oh
