Hi;

 

I am about to re-build my Radius Arms, I have a Sealy Hand Pump Grease Gun that takes a whole tube of Lithium Grease (1Kg?).

How many pumps of Grease do I need to put into the Radius Arm Grease Nipple?

 

Thanks

Just found this thread so I'll pump until it starts to come out of either end?

Yup till clean grease is visible other end. Wipe away any excess. Job done

Will I need more than one tube?

 

Found this thread and it suggested several?

Doubt it. Theres not much space around the pin in the arm.

Its been a known problem, that when the inner plastic tube splits, the pumped in grease ends up going into the arm cavity... you could be filling the full arm instead of just the tube around the spindle

Hopefully it's intact

You really should see the grease coming out in only a few pumps...

If the tube is split its OK, just keep pumping, it will come out eventually. You might just need a kilo aside!
