Teraflex LCA's broken zerks
#12
well i guess they changed something, cause i got a set of front lca's last week and there is a straight zerk on it. not an angled one like adam posted... i cant get my grease gun on the zerk with the arm on though, so to grease i have to drop the one end...kinda a PITA..

Yeah...mine all busted. Steps taken...
1) Push on grease gun
2) Inject grease
3) Pull off grease gun
4) remove broken fitting from end of grease gun
Soon as I think they need doing again, will be replacing them all.
Very annoying...

Just got off the phone w/Joe. They're working on a fix or improved design. Until then, he's sending me replacement and gave me a suggestion which I like:
Just keep the plugs in (not zerks at all), and then put the zerk in the bottom of the LCA just to grease it, then put plugs back in. I figure it's brand new and was greased well. I should be ok while they develope a fix.

When there new u definitely need to grease them. They only use assembly lube to assemble them. Joe even told me u have to grease them.

Its great that they have all these ideas for what we can do AFTER we spend our money with them. I wish I could treat my customers like that and have them be ok with it...well I'm not ok with that.

Problem is, as soon as you remove the grease gun they break...3 of mine broke the first time I greased them and the other one came loose and fell out...

You can try using a small screwdriver to back out the broken half.
