Using it with the zerk fitting I find it really hard to get the grease to move through the tool an into the BB.

Even without the tool in the BB it’s difficult to squeeze the grease gun. All of a sudden it seems to be ok for a couple of squeezes if I’ve got lots of pressure on the zerk fitting, then back to being troublesome.

Anyone with any ideas? This shouldn’t be this difficult right?

Sounds to me like there’s something blocking the ports.
Try cleaning it out with some comressed air.
The grease should just pump through with ease.

Slight hijack, which grease and gun are people using? Phil Wood?

I just use a cheap mini grease gun from machine mart and fill it up with phil woods grease.

Using an old Pace grease gun with mine & pace grease – no problems

cheers guys, looks like I’ve got another cleaning job on my hands.

How often are you greasing yours chaps ?

Only asking because I was toying with buying one, But I’d have to buy the gun & grease on top of the King tool.

My LBS charge me £7 to grease it if I take the cups in…?

I use this grease gun

4 sets of king bb, greased every couple of months depending on use.

In the summer I hardly bother.
In the winter if i’ve done a few very wet rides and used a washer on the bike i’ll do it quite regular.
Takes 5 mins tops to do.
