I will show you how to fix a grease gun that is not pumping grease. Your gun may be air locked meaning there is a pocket of air in the chamber. This is a very simple fix

If you want a grease gun that will never have airlock check out this demo video I did for locknlube’s spin on grease gun: ruclips.net/video/SM4sYto6Rkk/видео.htmlsi=7aBiwzcx8GLHAWn5
Thank you so much for putting together this video. It was a life saver for me trying to help my friend regrease the bearings on his camper.
I’m glad that it helped. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
Your video was the only one that uses the filler plug removal method. after an hour of watching videos i came upon yours and it fixed the problem. Great job!

Its so agravating doing this. The two turns out rarely works, the bleeder valve never works. Taking the bleeder valve off like you did works sometimes but it will rocket shitloads of grease out if you are not careful
I’ve heard people having that issue a lot. I’ve never personally ran into that problem. Do you have any technique that works for you? Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 Yes, I did figure it out, the solution was taking the bleeder valve all the way off (while holding back on the plunger to keep too much grease from coming out) and also removing the hose, I believe the hose had air pressure built up in it.
Ok thanks for the advice. Sometimes debris also stops the flow as well.
DUDE!!! THANK YOU! that was what was up with mine. I followed your walk through, and sure as morning, I'm greasing up all my zircs... my rails on the drawers of my rollaway.. lubed my AR buffer spring, its 1130 at night, and Im lubing everything except the ball joints on my truck. The old lady is giving me hell! hahah,. Thank you, very much!
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful. If the old lady is giving you hell already might as well keep going and get those ball joints done lol. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
Just liked and subscribed. Excellent video, short, sweet and it worked! Thank you.
Thanks for the sub! And I’m glad the video helped. I always stay short and to the point because that’s the way I like to watch videos. Take care
Save me some time and it worked thanks! I watched another video before this one and I almost cleaned it all out like it suggested but this was way simpler and fixed the issue.
Yes some people like to over complicate a simple task in their videos. Airlock is easier to fix than people think. Thanks for watching. Glad it helped. Please like and subscribe
😊 good job on video.
Straight forward and to the point.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Please like and subscribe
Oh wow, thanks! You helped a ton!
Glad it helped. Happy greasing. Thanks for watching and please like and subscribe
Lovely, took the filler nut out and now I have half my grease tube on my hand.
However it fixed the issue without having to do anything else
Nothing a little brake cleaner won’t tidy up. Glad the end result was good though. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
Great thanks for the lesson

Video was good. When pushing in the rod if you push the lever at base of rod it unlocks it and it will move easily.

You obviously don’t realize the plunger has a lock release.
I am aware of the lock release. You can press the tab or twist the rod like I did. Either way the grease gun is working. Thanks for watching
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 no you just pushed on it super hard till it pushed in. Pushing with the release is effortless.
Yep. Both end in the same result. Thanks for watching
That really worked thanks

So my plunger lever is extremely hard to pull back and when I do a bunch of grease comes out where the plunger goes in and the lock hole too..what's up with that ?
That’s because your plunger has grease behind it. This can happen if the gun was operated with a clog and the pressure pushes the grease passed the plunger. It can also happen if you pushed too hard on the plunger to push the grease up during priming. Keep pulling til it’s at full extension to pull all grease out. Then reload the cartridge and prime the gun again. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 yup..thanks for helping, I think the grease gun got to warm over the summer (and it was lying on its side) which likely softened the grease allowing the plunger to pass through from the force of the spring and a crappy plunger.
Glad I could help. Keep the gun hanging upright if you can.
Nice, how did that feel.
Felt wonderful. Lol. Gotta take one for the team. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
What if my plunger isn't pushing grease to the top it feels like it moves freely within the cylinder there's no pressure when trying to depress it back in
That means that your plunger handle is not locking. If you spin the handle until you feel it lock then push and the grease should push up. You won’t feel a click or anything. I just push the rod in and spin til I feel it stop and that’s where the lock is. Thanks for watching. Hope this helps. Please like and subscribe
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 thanks for the response!
You’re welcome. Take care
Lol didn’t work at all
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 Thanks so much. Twisting it until it stops then pushing it in actually works. Been in the garage for 2 hours trying to get this to work. You the man.
What do you do if all of the grease comes out the air hole
Is the grease coming out of the air hole when you are pumping it to use the grease? You may have a clog in the hose. Take the hose off and try dispensing. If it’s still clogged you will need to remove the cap and clean the inside of it. Plus if it comes out of the air hole then your cap isn’t tight enough. I’m guessing you just need a new hose or new coupler. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
I will try this tomorrow. Hopefully the cheap grease gun that I bought has a bleeder screw.
Best of luck. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
ill give it a shot
Excellent
And what happens if you don't have an air bleed plug?
If you don’t have the air bleed plug then replace that step with twisting the body of the grease gun open 2 full turns and push the plunger in the same way. The air will escape that way. Hope this helps. Please like and subscribe
Lol when I took the nut out a big blob of grease came out 😂
Hopefully it still worked out for you though. That does happen sometimes. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe
Mine just shot out the entire tube of grease from the hole.
Really? The entire tube? That’s crazy.
That Should Be Expected Really,The Piston is Spring Loaded to Pressurise The Grease into the Pump,I Usual give the Top of The Grease Gun a Few Sharp Blows Against a Tyre and it Seems to Clear The Airlock without Loosening the Bleeder.
Thanks for the tip. I won’t be able to try it because I got a new spin on grease gun from locknlube that doesn’t get airlock. Check out the demo I did: ruclips.net/video/SM4sYto6Rkk/видео.htmlsi=7aBiwzcx8GLHAWn5

Bs. Did it and all the grease kept shooting out in across my garage floor
Sometimes it not the tool to blame. It’s the operator. This method worked for me. Just saying.
Hahahaja, it is not the method nor the tool that failed.
Exactly. People who can’t get a tool like o work properly like to blame the tool and the instructional video on RUclips. Sometimes they just need a mirror to see the problem. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe. And happy greasing.
Did not work
Works for me every time. Not sure what to tell you.
