Grease zerts

[duckruck]

How to replace zerts on dk55. My zerts are pressed in and recessed. Hard to get at, I would like to replace with standard screw in zerts. I realize they would have to be drilled and tapped with 3/8 in pipe thread. Can't get the old ones removed. Recommendations please, thanks.

Normal threaded zerks are either 1/4-28 or 1/8-27 pipe.

I eat a whole lot of navy beans and other very fiberus foods. I zert into the wind with skill & ease.

Anyhow - remove the press in zert. I have a flat bar. Very thin & sharp at the very leading edge. Also very large deep "V" for engaging & pulling items. Put it under the edge of the zert and pry gently from many angles.

There's even a Zert club!
I could be president in no time.

Many people use a vise-grips with a slide hammer attached to pull pressed in zerks. You could modify the grip end so it fits into the recess and grind a pocket for the zerk.
