Remote Greaser

[tgalea]

Hi All,

I have one of these remote greasers for the stern tube installed on my boat. It's the screw type.

Recently i dismantled it to refill with grease and am concerned that it might be missing a part.

Essentially i have inside is just the long screw attached to the external knob. I would have imagined there would be some kind of a plate installed at the end of the screw to push the grease in.

The way this one is, once the screw pushes the grease in the center of the housing it needs to be refilled.

I hope i explained it properly and would appreciate any help.

Regards
Tyrone

If it worked at all it must have had a plate. Is it still in the bottom of the greaser?

Plate is prob at bottom end. The Circlip has prob come off. If it's like mine it has!
The tube can be unscrewed so that it's open at both ends.

I imagined so. I will have a good look at it. Remove all the grease and see if there is a place at either end. Yes it did work to some extent because it packs some grease and then gets hard.

Thanks for the info. Will get back once i check it out.

Yes mine is the type which unscrews from both ends. I will have to clean up all the grease and have a good look.

Thanks
