: I would like finish some of the work I started. I am replaing all of the original style grease fitings with new 20th century style ypes. If they're not threaded how would one recommend removing the old ones and installing the new ones without damaging them. I need to finish this on the car listed earlier.
: Also... relating to the 31 Tudor for sale...Is a Deluxe the one with the autolite heating element? If so then it's a deluxe for sale.
Changing the "drive in type" grease fittings is a rather simple process. Just use a pair of vice grips and turn them out. Clean out the hole, apply a little grease around the edges and use Bratton's Grease Fitting Driver to replace the fitting. The tip of the fitting will not be damaged in any way! (See page 128 in Bratton's catalog. The tool Walt Bratton sells is well worth the cost of $2.10.
