Broken Zerk

Was lubing my 15 hp Mercury and broke a Zerk off when removing the grease gun. How can I repair? Help!!!

Broke off just the end or broke it off down into the threads? A photo would help a lot.

am out of town. will get a picture when I return.

Here is a tool that will remove broken parts of a zerk and chase the threads if needed.

any idea where I can buy one of these.

Try NAPA first. If not them you should have a couple of bearing stores in the Rock that should have them and the replacement Zerk.

The Bearing And Seal Shop in Little Rock, Arkansas with Reviews & Ratings - YP.com

Here is a list to start with. But I bet NAPA would have it.

Thanks, will let everyone know how it goes when I get back in town. paul

Ease out will work

That little tool is a life saver. Has an ease out...thread tap....and wrench. We use then ALOT on our trucks and trailers. Used it a few times today on a prentice loader. You never know how handy they are until you have one. Nearly any auto parts store will have them. As already said, napa, bumper to bumper, autozone, orielys. Take your pic. There are others tools that look very similar that work also. If you do any greasing on anything, one of those in your box is a must.
