126 Kingpins

Been reading on the forum the fun Rusty has had with these.  I bought some Stub axles with Kinpins already installed from Ricambio.  Fully fitted and the cars steering is 100% better.  Only prob I have is to do with greasing.  When I grease it only seems to grease at the top near the nipple.  Will the grease work it's way down to grease the whole pin?

Make sure the end of the greaser sits tightly on the greasing nipple ,otherwise the grease will just flow out next to it. Keep pumping the grease in until you can see some grease coming out from the bottom. If no grease comes out then maybe something has blocked the  bore that the nipple sits in or the nipple itself is blocked (maybe old grease).

If blocked how do I unblock?

You can remove the nipple by using a 6mm (or 7mm) ring spanner or socket. Then using a needle or a thin screwdriver you can scrape out the grease (or whatever is blocking it).
