OK....the secret is
1 - Invert gun, pump down.
2 - Grab handle, hose, between your feet.
3 - with both hands, pull up on the T rod and click it in place to the side.
4 - With latex/vinyl/nitril gloves, remove cap.
5 - remove and replace cartridge.
6- repeat step 1 and 2, then release T rod.
7- if grease does not flow when pumping, loosen bleeder screw on side of pump until grease begins to flow out...replace screw.
Done.
This should not take you more than 10 min....max.

Rev...I'm gonna go out and try to follow your directions. Although I am a little worried about step 2. Grab the hose between my feet. Not even on my best day man. I'll just be sure to close the garage door. :smoker:

Grease tube has been successfully installed and all zerks have been given their due attention. I even left the garage door open. Thanks Rev.
I'd like to extend the new skills I have aquired to the rest of the Chapter. Feel free to stop by anytime and I'll bust out the loaded grease gun.

I must admit I have always wondered what the hell that fitting on the grease gun was for, i sometimes would pretend that was where new grease would magically flow into it while i slept, or and i even tried this once thought that was a place for an air fitting, I just cant bear to get into any of the details of how that ended, but lets say in disgrace, and my father yelling at me about the mess i had made! I will look into removing that fitting in the morn.
thanks

Now, that's funny.
My problem isn't so much loading the grease in the gun as it is getting it back out! Pump, pump, pump... and nothing (insert bedroom innuendo here). Then a week later the grease gun has emptied itself where ever I put it down.:smsoap: 15 dollar grease guns do this, 30 dollar grease guns do, how much do you have to pay?

You're doing it backwards guys!
What you do is pull the spring back..
Then unscrew the cylinder, not the cap! When you do that you slide the old canister out, pop the new canister, slip it in, screw it back together.
Then simply push the spring rod back and and you're done with very little mess.
(It took me about ten years to figure this out)

Sorry...I should have made that more clear for those without a functioning frontal lobe.....when i say cap I am refering to the end with the pup attached....if you tried the other end the cartridge would of course, not fit.
Duh

Just for the uninitiated here. If the tube has a foil seal over the end, puncture it before you screw the thing back together.

LMAO! Lets see some lesson plans Tom!
My wife gets mad when they track grease in the house. Can you load these without the pup?Rev Den said:
