    any of your flimsy seals blow through the retaining circlip? happened tonight on both sides of a bb which was off the bike got them back in but was a pain in the ass.
    And what grease do you use

    Thanks for the heads up, I’ve not tried mine yet.

    Easily done. Often remove circlip and seal first then splurge the grease through. Saves having to pick it out of a load of dirty grease!

    Bit off a faff but will start to take out circlip from now on.Seems no point in having a grease gun tool!!

    I use mine after any very wet ride.
    Only had a seal pop out once and it’s easy enough to get them back in.
    Using Phil Woods grease.

    Have did you had to push you seal back in then? 😯

    Yes, this has happened to me also.

    what grease guns are you all using?

    I’ve got a CK unit on my commuter so I’m tempted to get the injector+gun

    Regular cheap (dualco?) grease gun. I ordered a fitting for the CK tool so I can screw onto the grease gun rather than relying on the zerk fitting. Makes operation much easier.

    yeah the CK website says the injector is threaded, so the obvious thing is to thread it onto to the grease gun. The question then is – are all grease guns threaded on the end.

    Was the dualco gun threaded sam? If not, where do you get the “fitting for the tool”?

    for future reference – the HILKA grease gun DOES fit the CK tool.

    (and is much cheaper than the CK gun…)

    That looks identical to the Phil Wood gun

    @sam_underhill where did you order an adaptor for the king tool to screw onto the dualco gun? many thanks!

    ok, did a bit more poking around on line and found this:
    http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cgg120-4-piece-grease-gun?da=1&TC=SRC-grease+gun

    which i suspect may well be the same as the phil wood grease gun and it threads into the king adapter no probs.

    should fit the 3 oz phil cartridges as well..
