Hole is too big for 1/4 Zerk grease fitting?

Post by ivaldes1 » Sun Sep 17, 2023 3:52 pm

Hi, further along with the Weaver 4 ton jack. https://www.mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30668 The lift arm had a totally smashed Zerk fitting on it that I drilled out. The hole measures 1/4 inch with a micrometer but my 1/4 inch Zerk replacement is too loose to fit the hole. What should I do? Would filling with JB weld and drilling it then screwing another Zerk in work?

Hole measures 1/4". Drill out & tap to fit 1/8 pipe thread. Common zerk.
