Need to add grease zerk on LW...how hard

[soonermajic]

I discovered my grease zerk for 1 of my rollers is shot. I need to add another one. How hard is that? Do I have to go through a distributor, or can I just make one...?

You can replace the zerk fitting. Any auto parts store will have them.

What about the tube?

Could I use a poly tube, with a push fitting?

Now look some of those rollers are non grease able they have no zerk fittings on them from the factory. I went through this with my machine about 2 years ago with PDQ. I believe something like docking dryer vs non docking dryer I may be wrong. There are 2 different types of rollers some with bearings in them and some without the bearing style had grease fittings to support the extra weight of the dryer is what they told me back in my memory rolodex. Make sure to look at them closely
