I installed the quad bags I robbed from my parts coach today and while I was "picking" I pulled the bogie greasers that had the dual zerks. Took me a while to figure out the concept but now that I shot some grease threw them, I sorted it out. Pretty cool - I'm sold! Only thing is, only 1 of the 4 I pulled came out with the brass fitting on the end with the O-ring. I suspect this bit is special order/custom made(correct me if I'm wrong) but I wonder if it still better than stock to install them even w/o the end bit? I suspect yes, but looking for advice.
TIA for the input.
Stay safe.

Hi Shawn....do an internet search on GMC Motorhome Boggie Greasers or suspension greaser etc as i remember....i think it was on the GMC photo site.... a tutorial on how to make them [sorry i dont have the link]. If the info isnt there about the Oring you should be able to match one up and at the local TSC or Farm Equipment, Heavy Equipment, Autoparts store as they usually have an assortment of them.

My greasers are DIY from here:

I don't recall using O-rings...

The o-rings are kind of important. Sometimes they get stuck on a burr inside when inserting the. You can get rid of the burr by chasing out the hole with a greased drill. Unfortunately I do not remember the size.

Thanks fellas.
Yes, I think you are right Jim. The tube on mine are made from sort some of soft metal with threaded ends in which the brass bit with the o-rings are attached to. I think I will just replace the tube with copper and flare them to match the bore as others have done.
