Options for Spindle With Zerk Fitting That has Snapped Off
Question:
My zerk grease fitting has snapped off. I have tried all removal tools, and have been unsuccessful. Easy out, drill bits, is there a part I can replace, or is it in the entire axle assembly?

Expert Reply:
If your zerk fitting has snapped off your spindle and you cannot remove the remaining pieces then you can replace the entire spindle. Should you not know the model of spindle you have what you can do is use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the spindle and find the correct replacement.
We do recommend having a qualified welder remove your old spindle and replace it with a new one. I've added a link for you with our selection of E-Z Lube spindles for you to take a look at as well.
