[Shop-talk] broken grease fitting

[Steven Trovato]

How did the fitting break off?  Did it break because something hit it 
during operation?  That would be a good thing, because then it 
probably isn't seized in there.  If it broke because you were trying 
to remove it, then you have to proceed with caution.  If it is that 
frozen, you really have to avoid breaking off an ez-out.  They are 
hardened and the broken piece will further complicate the removal.
