The grease fitting is called a "Zerk". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_fitting -Rod ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Needham" <paul.2.needham@xxxxxxxxx> To: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 3:59:29 PM Subject: [python] Rod end bearings on Pythons Hi all My ongoing trike project although based on Ed's red trike has rod end bearings as used by 25hz and others. Can anyone tell me ? How do you grip them without damaging them to tighten up the nuts clamping them to the frame ? Do I need washers on the outside at the bolt head and lock nut ? only with the washers I think there is insufficient thread for the lock nut to work ? What is the adaptor called that fits to a grease gun so they can be greased ? regards Paul ============================================================ This is the Python Mailinglist //www.freelists.org/list/python Listmaster: Jurgen Mages jmages@xxxxxx To unsubscribe send an empty mail to python-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field. ============================================================
