I'm sitting here eating a couple Angus burgers I just pulled off the grill and put on buns. It's interesting watching a woman do something I normally pay my mechanic to do. You are definitely a rare woman and I salute you. I could buy a grease gun and do all that, but I choose not to mostly because of time restraints. So it's good you have the time on your hands to do that sort of thing and I think it's good for people who have time available that they learn how to do that as well. Best of luck in all you do. Oh, incidentally, D&L hand cleaner works great for cleaning that grease off your arms. I started learning about that stuff when I was about 7yrs old, knee high to a grass hopper. My dad worked at a garage and because my step mom got up late, she made his lunch after he actually left for work and asked me to take it to him which was about a mile away. He taught me a few thangz back then but because I chose not to become a mechanic I don't usually have the stuff around here.

Thanks Pipi, I have had one of these 3oz grease guns for years. They are super handy because you can pump grease with one hand and hold the grease nozzle properly on the fitting with the other hand (no grease squirting out and not going in your fitting). But, I hadn't used mine in quite a while and had grease all over the place when replacing the cartridge. Your video is an excellent reminder on how to do this properly!

Thanks Pippi. When I changed the cartridge on my inherited grease gun, the plunger handle was stuck in the 'in' position. I reviewed many videos looking for a solution. Even though my exact problem wasn't addressed, the videos gave me enough understanding to work through my problem; thanks! (A previous owner of my gun had reversed the ends on the tube body. The plunger had gone beyond the cartridge making it impossible to retract. I cut the cardboard with a razor knife and the metal rim with a diagonal wire cutter to remove the old cartridge. With the old cartridge removed and the ends on their correct end of the body, it then behaved as expected.) Thanks again!

Well done. Reminded me of learning how not to fill a grease gun. Some of them have, rather than the slots in the hole, a oval keyhole shaped hole in the end. You pull the rod out and slide an undercut in the rod to the side into the key slot. Works pretty good as long as you are careful to not bump the rod. Before cartridges were everywhere we filled the guns by putting the end into a bucket of grease and pulling the rod. The barrel filled up like a hypodermic needle and then you screwed the cap on. I bumped the rod and a big old gob of grease flew over and stuck to the side of the garage. The stain is probably still there after 50 years. 😊

It looks like she is using the Plews Lubrimatic gun which has a better coupler than many of the other mini grease guns like the Harbor Freight one that I have. As I have found out these things are fickle and messy and it seems that there is no way to use one without getting grease all over your hands so the gloves are a good idea. However it might be a better choice to use a full size gun if there are many fittings to be greased as the grease is less expensive when purchased in the 14 oz cartridge. However a full size gun is more difficult to handle and good ones are expensive.
