I have a front snow blower when I greased the auger the grease Zerk fell off.Can anyone tell me how to fix it Any help would be appreciated

If the fitting sheared off and the threaded end is still in the threads you will need a very small easy out to remove it-the square type of easy out.

Another option is a small left hand drill bit with a battery drill and hope no loctite was used to secure the grease fitting- oh and a warm garage or a kerosene salamander to keep warm while you are lying on a water proof tarp removing it.

I am unsure if they even make grease fitting repair kits with the removal tools anymore.

Some grease zerks are a press fit. I've had some pop out. I usually tap the hole and thread in a new one.
