Title: Grease Cap Punch 47mm
Post by: andyzeetec on September 28, 2022, 01:06:28 PM

Anyone know where I can buy one of these?   https://trailacc.co.za/product/grease-cap-punch-47mm/

I'm having a hell of a job trying to fit a new cap that doesn't want to go on. :rant


Thanks

I never knew there was a tool for that.
I normally just hit the cap with a rubber mallet.

You could use a large socket or a piece of steel tubing (loads for sale on ebay)

One of the old caps was bent and distorted it was leaking grease, contaminating shoes. Bought new caps which were a megatight fit. Determined not to take it to the garage I made a punch out of some tube and turned up an ally end cap. Went on like a dream :good:
