Troubleshooting Trailer Leaf Spring Wet Bolt that Won't Accept Grease
Published 10/17/2022
Question:
I have a 2005 Cam Superline low mile. Tandem Axle. The zerk nipple on the balance arm connecting springs will not take grease despite new nipple and endless pounding with zerk blaster. Can send pics. I believe this is all Dexter. Tried removing main balancer bolt to clean it out, but it just spins and nothing on other side is turning. Help!

Expert Reply:
Sometimes zerk fittings just freeze up. Since you replaced it already my guess is the problem is in the bolt itself. You might replace the bolt with a new one like part # 126B2 or grease the bolt manually.
