Troubleshooting

Grease nipple does not fit the port.

Verify the thread size and type (metric or imperial) of the port. Select a different fitting from the assortment that matches the required specifications.

Grease gun coupler does not seal properly on the nipple.

Ensure the grease nipple is clean and free of obstructions. Check that the grease gun coupler is compatible and in good condition. Try a different angle fitting if access is an issue.

Fittings appear to be cross-threaded.

Remove the fitting immediately and inspect both the fitting's threads and the port's threads for damage. Ensure you are starting the thread by hand to avoid cross-threading.

Grease nipple is difficult to tighten.

Clean the threads on both the nipple and the port. Ensure you are using the correct size and starting the thread straight. Avoid excessive force.
