Question:

I am not able to get the top wet bolt on the EquaFlex 6K-8K to take any grease on both sides of my RV. Ive tried to raise and lower the RV using the leveling jacks to take weight off the wet bolt, but it hasnt helped. Do I need to replace the wet bolt? Also, are bronze or never fail bushings better?

Expert Reply:

It sounds like there might just be a clog in either the Zerk fitting or line of the wet bolt preventing grease to pass through. Aside from removing it and trying to clean it out replacement would be the only other option. Depending on the length of your bolt you can use part # LC126238 or # LC126197 for replacement. With wet bolts you'll always want to use bronze bushings as the grease will eat away the never fail/nylon bushings.
