Grease Fittings - DK40SE

gkh7890 · Jun 23, 2010

Hey Pack,
Does anyone know the exact size of the grease fittings (zerks) for the DK 40SE? I have 4 that are bad. Still waiting to hear back from my dealer about getting replacements but figured I'd throw this out and see what feedback I got.

I used a 10mm socket to remove them. But when I tried a 10mm fitting from TSC, it was too big and the 8mm was too small. I'm thinking these are proprietary? I did clean them out, exercised the pins but no success in getting them to work.

Thanks!

1/8 pipe thread zerks are what we replace with. Typically a 7/16 nut driver is what you will need. Don't ask why - I don't know either. FYI: Occasionally you will run into a press fitted zerk. Pull out and tap to 1/4 - 28.

Fastenal carries 1/4-28" self-tapping zerks.
