The freakin' zerks on the BRAND NEW CALIPERS were rusted to nubs -
NUBS - nothing to grip, came apart in my hands and the brake wrench.
Now I gotta remove the calipers, use an easy out to get the rest of
the zerks out of the calipers....

Taking your trailer to a dealer who knows what he is doing?
Herr Krause. The dealer would do exactly the same thing the OP would
be doing.
Amazing that a person of your brilliance can't figure that out. But
perhaps they can, and you cannot.
Poor Tim, and his sock-puppet.

Beg your pardon?

Oh Boy...it'sgettin g so that everyone is having trouble keeping all the
players straight these days.
A person should only be allowed one handle per newsgroup.



Oh Boy! You are dumb!

Don, I only have one handle for both my email addresses TSchnautzat
gmaildot com and Bschnautz at aoldot com.

I rarely use the aol account though.

but both show as "Tim"

That's it.

That's why you keep sneaking through my filters;)

Quit going back in the automotive and buying those cheap Kmart
filters!

My son-in-law who had a tie rod separate at 30K miles on a 2001 *model
didn't think so.
"Permanently lubricated" *is the claim. * A simple zerk fitting would
probably make it last for 100k miles.

Eisboch *(about 20 lines)

I bet the replacement part had a "zerk" they usually do.

Tom, concerning the ones on the trailer? When you dig them out, you
might not like what you see. Probably no more than reman calipers
cost, you might just consider changing the whole she-bang. I'm sure
the "cup' is probably fairly rusty to and will be difficult to
compress, and then what about all the other mechanism?

I dont' think it will be pretty or easy.

Yes Richard. some use pump to extract the air out of the system, but
there's the old two man way of pumping up the master cylinder, while
another opens the "zerk to let the fluid and air splatter out, until
they get a clean flow of fluid. But instead of making a big mess, it's
possible to put a rubber hose ove the "zerk" and let the air and fluid
mixture splatter into a jar or can. press the master cylinder pedal,
open the 'zerk', splatter, close the 'zerk' let up on the pedal and
repeat the process.

Done it many a time.

Whatever anybody calls it, if it's on a caliper you know what it is.
We always called zerks zerks and bleeders bleeders.
But when was the last time you saw a zerk on a car?
Even my '90 Corsica doesn't have one. All the tie rod ends and ball
joints are sealed and permanently lubed.
Might be one on the pitman arm. I'll have to look, since now you got
me interested. Might not even have a pitman arm any more with these
strut suspensions.
Reminds me that I haven't even used a grease gun on my cars in many

My '95 GMC pickup, although not a car, had eleven of those buggers -
all for the front end.
