Grease Nipple Removal

Mach Two · 2022-07-08 18:20:46

Not a car but someone here might be able to help me. I am trying to remove a grease nipple from my lawnmower. There is nowhere to put a wrench on it. Here is a couple of pictures.

I would spray it with a fluid like WD40 after you run the wire brush around it and leave for a day to soak in .
Do you have a replacement or why is it getting removed?
Got a small curved vice grips to use to unscrew it.

There’s also a great trick with a blow torch and candle wax, heat the nipple apply candle wax, repeat. This removed a nut on a lawnmower I had really given up on.
