I've been told to pump grease until it oozes out of the space between the pin and the bushing.
Two questions.
In some bushings the grease does not ooze out equally from all areas around the pins. It comes out one side. Ideally, I should probably remove the pins and clean them out to insure that grease gets everywhere, but that would be a huge undertaking.
Is this OK?
2. I'm finding that despite me greasing religiously, I'm pumping 10 - 30 pumps, and not seeing grease oozing. But when I come out the next day, there's a huge glob of grease on the machine or on the ground.
Is there a technique for greasing that avoids the delayed notification that you have pumped too much, or is it just the way it is?
Thanks
