Quick tip for loading a grease gun; When you are pulling the plunger out of the cartridge, crack the bleeder/ unscrew the tube. You are creating a vacuum inside the gun, that will suck the outlet empty. When reloading, screw the tube 75% up, push the plunger up, then finish screwing the tube up. You just bled most of the system in 5 seconds
You can also "hydroform" thin aluminum with a grease gun. Create a steel fixture with a solid bottom and a steel ring to clamp the aluminum down. Pump the grease between the aluminum and solid steel slug and makes a nice dome shape. Could also make interesting shapes or lettering depending on your upper form of the fixture. Would love to see aVe do a video of this.
In small excavators they actually use a grease gun with grease in it to activate a hydraulic/grease cylinder in order to put tension on the tracks. Easy and very effective
That's funny that you posted this, a few days ago at work I needed to widen a hole in some sheet metal to pull some wiring through. I tried to use a hole saw but with no center point it just walked all over the place. Our maintenance guy saw me and said he had a better idea. He came back with something that looked like a grease gun with a threaded hydraulic cylinder on the end. It was a hydraulic sheet metal punch. He just put the punch end on it and started pumping and it retracted the cylinder until it punched out the hole and it made me think about what kind of pressures were in a normal grease gun. Now I know!
It's not the destination, it's the journey that's valuable. Use it as a learning experience on how to think. AvE is a goddamn Canadadian mechanical genius
It makes me so happy to see new vijayos coming up on my feed. I can't realistically have much of a hobby shop in my apartment; living vicariously through you is just as good as it gets!
Work in aircraft daily greasing, it’s quite helpful to know that the pump element above the cartridge goes to around 1700psi. Many components are rated so we don’t blow bearings and such etc. 1700psi per 5 white knuckles!
You are sooo funny in your narration. You are truly informative too. I worked with a guy like you. Those were good times. Broke me up when you asked" Why you no come?". I laughed out loudly. My wife looked at me very strangely.
Worked as a sparky in maintenance department for 50 years. Just about every hydraulic system that I came across leaked hydraulic fluid. Even 2 new Green lee hydraulic hand pumps for knocking out holes in panels leaked before they were a year old. Back hack that I ever seen was when one of our mechanics left a deposit in other mechanics cliffs cup. Guy got the portable bread pump on the heaviest grease that was in a 30 gallon grease drum. He installed a few zero fittings and filled the guy mechanics steel tool chest up with the very thick grease. By the time he was done entire box was filled with grease. Took the other guy at least 6 hours to remove grease from inside box and tools.
I machined an adapter for m14x1.25 thread. I fill a frozen motorcycle cylinder a pepetrating oil, then thread the adapter into the spark plug hole. Then pump up the cylinder with the grease gun to force the oil past the stuck piston, and to force the stuck piston down. It works like a charm!
got a tip for ya, when changing a cartridge unscrew the tube from the pump 1 full turn to release the vacuum created while trying to pull the plunger back..... and hey at least its a Lincoln gun.
its amazing how just a bit of grease can give you that much. At work we sharpen side cutter headd for a huge mfg. company and that is how we tighten them on the arbor and how the run the heads on the machine. Its really awesome. Thanks for showing actually showing how it works
@AvE Just wanna thank you kindly for making these videos. You've given me hours of entertainment. Also i have had contact dermatitis from a combo of lime juice and the sun (lime burn)after pruning the trees, Its terrible. Gotta start wearing gloves in the shop, id hate to get it from working on stuff.
Love these videos. They're both highly comedic and educational (if you have learned how to decipher AvE English to Standard English, Haha). But seriously, I enjoy watching them. Keep it up, thanks!
Hey buddy I’m appreciating to be a millwrong in Saskatchewan and your videos have given me tricks. P. S the Milwaukee grease gun hasn’t let us down yet. And I use that mofo every morning
They do come in handy for removing pilot bearings! I've hammered away with slide hammers for far too long, when I should have blown it out with a grease gun. powerful little things they are!
........ "Propensity for homoeroticism". Hahahahahaha! I did a double take on that one. I didn't get the reference during the first watch. The depth of your humour knows no bounds.
"I dont think there's a grease gun in existence that actually f'ing works". Amen. Iv went through a dozen of the damn things and they're all finicky. I even have a heavy duty one from Snap-Off that sucks. Although Iv had great luck with the large barrel type ones but who the hell is going to carry that crap around.
Stephen Cox I’m right with you. I end up throwing them out in less than a year and I don’t really use them that much except for my boat. Although at work we use them all the time on our trucks and I’ve noticed that the Milwaukee cordless grease guns last and they kick ass.
Stephen Cox and for fucks sake can they invent one that’ll come back off the fucking fitting when you do finally get the piece of shot to work???? I mean is that too much to ask???
Robert Beattie ever tried a “Lock-n-Lube” coupler? They’re made in South Africa, cost is around $30 and they work really well. They really come in handy when you have a hard to reach fitting, lock the coupler on and let it go. It’ll stay put, won’t leak, and releases when done greasing. Just have to pull the spring loaded lever.
In the gas patch of Colorado we use modified grease guns filled with methanol or antifreeze to force ice plugs from the process pressure measurement tubing on our gas compressors, they will build over 5,000psi even with such low viscosity fluids as these the trick is you have to pump them faster as the tolerances on the pump are such that the fluid will just bypass the pump faster than it can be forced out of the gun. The lever style guns are what we use so you can put more force on it
@@BillyBoze No such thing. Place I worked at before I retired we went through five industrial guns a month. Boss quit buying the "cheap" ones and we succeeded in going through only *four* per month.
@@soconoha8495 We used them mostly on plastics extruders. The zerks tended to get gummed up because they ran at about 430 Frankensteins even using very expensive high-temp grease plus as I said management bought the cheapest guns they could find. Maintenance had a hard time keeping up with the zerks.
Im having a problem where my better half is getting mad because im using chooch and skookim too much in every day conversation and she says you're a bad influence. any advice?
I used a grease gun to free up a puck froze tight in a disc brake caliper. Snapped right on the bleeder. A bit of a mess when she left go, but worked slicker than snot.
we call those fittings #6 to boss (o-ring side) in the gulf of mexico. trick in a pinch if you grind the bevel off the #6 it will thread in to the cylinder. that is a good Stanley hydraulic tools trick.
+rustyheaders Damned loyalists and their square screws. I used to work for a division of a company based out of Montreal at an office in the US. They did all the ordering up in Canada so every feckin' thing we got was covered every square inch with Made in Canada Maple Leaf stickers and Robertson screws. Why didn't they just combine their efforts and engrave the Maple Leaf around the perimeter of the Robertson screw? Fortunately some items had universal head screws that would accept Robertson or Phillips.
Hey AvE, another great vid: funny and informative. Question: how do you bleed the pressure off of your system? Just unscrew one of the fittings? Would you end up wearing half of that ATF you pumped in there? I can actually think of a couple good uses for something like this and may build something bases on this concept so I'm curious about the bleed-off.
A dowty washer is what I think you meant when you said about face sealing that fitting to the cylinder. I use them all the time on hydraulic test rigs.
During the contact dermatitis speech I was waiting for the personal lubricant joke... Obviously your teleprompter wasn't working during that bit and you were just winging it and forgot.
I have used a grease gun to pump out stuck/seized disc brake caliper pistons when compressed air won't budge them. Just plug the brake line port and use the bleeder valve as the inlet port. Funucking believable.
I'm well aware of the pressure these grease guns can generate. The wheel bearings on my saw are protected by 1/8" thick steel hub caps which are sealed to keep the crud out. After a few years of occasionally greasing them, I noticed I was having a hard time and when looking saw I was doming the flat steel cap out with just the pressure of the grease inside lol.
@@Leroys_Stuff Humm I'm not in that job anymore, but i don't think they were made like that? They had a hard plastic seal, IIRC, not something of pliant rubber that might have worked like that? But it's been a long time since I saw them, quit that job like 3,5 years ago. The messiest side wasn't relying on the bearing seal anyway, that was the purpose of the cap, to keep the muck from even touching the hub in the first place, on the side that faced the blade.
1700psi?! Sturdy little machine for something that manages to leak from grease separation any time it sits more than a week. As far as a lack of built-in valves goes, the typical grease gun is designed to deliver its gooey payload to fittings with built-in check valves. I don't believe it depends on viscosity to prevent back-flow. Anyways, thanks for the vid!
+AVE Hey man. I'm trying to source 3 prop-valves through a buddy working at Bosch-Rexroth. Which type would you need? 4/2? 4/3? Is NG6 large enough? Let me know
We have a John Deere pistol grip gun that has held up for years, rumor has it Alamark made the thing. We also have a Lincoln Power Luber that has been working well enough that I probably won't throw it out until the nicad batteries die.
3000 PSI hydraulic pressure is about as dangerous as a fluffy kitten with the amount of flow a grease gun can provide. I used to deal with 6000 PSI nitrogen every day, all the force of hydraulics with all the energy storage of pneumatics. With 8 big ole high pressure gas tanks for capacitance, there was enough energy to ruin your day in a big hurry!
Great video. I have used grease guns for years when i come around a really stuck brake piston. Remove the bleeder, fit a zurk ( zerk? i dont know how to spell it ) fitting and start pumping! Greetings from Holland.
on your video about hydraulic troubleshooting you demonstrate how can use an infa-red heat to find internal you allready be aware but you can apply the same method for finding problem bearings i would use this tactic to find problem bearings in forage harvesters and combines both use many large bearings which can be hard to acces

Took me a while but it finally clicked in. The small ball in the grease nipple is the check valve for that system

stonent yea that's a knock-out punch
dowty seal is what you were after. Good lesson on the 1st rule of hydraulics, everything going to get covered in oil!
So with just a $20 CDN grease gun+ $250 worth of check valve and fittings, I can almost sorta make a sub harbor freight porta power? awesome.
GunFun ZS .
That’s what I was gonna say. For what you have in fittings, you could have easily went to horrible freight.
Don’t think this is the channel for you bud...
