Oiling cups
23T..Tie Rod lever oil cups. I am missing the cap off one of my oil cups. It sure looks like there is a hex at the bottom, and it would screw out. But, all the oilers I see are press in. Are they all press in type? Thanks..Tommy

Re: Oiling cups
I believe the oilers with the spring loaded cap are tap in. While the oilers (grease cups) with the screw on top are screw in. Jim Patrick

Re: Oiling cups
Yes, the flip top cups press in. The screw on cups have a threaded base as well as the brass, knurled twist type shown here.

Re: Oiling cups
Thanks.It looks like the hex I am seeing is actually the bolt head, and the oiler presses into the bolt head. Is this correct?

Re: Oiling cups
Can you post a photo? I’m not sure what you mean. If the inside of the hole is smooth, it is a press/tap in. If the inside of the hole is threaded, it should screw in. Jim Patrick
