Air Grease Gun

driveshafts.jpgAn air powered grease gun is a pneumatic tool used to inject grease into a grease nipple by air force.  Objects commonly greasable on Jeep are ball joints, driveshafts, cv joints, and suspension components.  Many of the newer Jeeps are equipped with non-serviceable joints.  These components can quickly wear out when exposed to the harsh conditions on the trail.  There are several aftermarket companies that manufacture and sell serviceable replacements.

 

Grease guns can be fitted with various attachments (shown below and right) to serve different types of grease fittings, such as a grease needle and bearing packer.  There are several flexible hose attachments that make reaching tight spaces easier.

Recommendation

Every Jeeper's garage should be outfitted with an air powered grease gun.  Keeping a hand operated as a backup is wise too.  Small hand operated guns are a good item to carry in your tool box on the trail.
