Zerk Size Question 2019 SR5

[sport2004]

Does the zerk size on the front/rear differentials match the industry standard for a grease gun in the USA? Thanks...

Post a photo of the zerks on your differentials. I've NEVER seen zerks on a differential and have no idea, since the diffs are full of oil, why they would need grease zerks!

Sorry, I meant drive/propeller shaft...! :crazy: You're paying attention, eh.

The zerks on the driveshafts are all standard size...the end that the grease gun fits on. With zerks, only the other end - the end that screws or is pressed into the part needing grease, can be different - different sizes, metric or SAE. But the grease gun end is always the same.

K, thanks...:thumb3:

I would go with metric, but as stated the bulb side is likely all the same.

^^^^ Thanks, got a road trip coming up and am catching up on the maintenance.

If you’re having Zerk problems i feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the Zerk ain’t one.

It’s amazing how many tutorials are wrong.

It took me years to finally realize I was using my grease gun wrong. I thought you just slammed the coupler onto the Zerk, pumped, and pulled it straight off. Like many, I struggled getting it to go on, I loosened the coupler, thought about buying a Lock ‘n Load, and just cursed a lot. Then I watched a vid on how the Zerk is designed to accept the coupler at an angle and seal when the coupler is in-line. Removal is the same, move the coupler off angle and it should be easily removed.

Finally found the vid, the best visual is at 3:45…

Thanks for the info.
