Heres what it does
As you can see, the Greaser is built from 4 components. The grease reservoir, the "V-Chamber, the bearing "plunger" and an "O" ring. The reservoir is turned from solid aluminium and is beautifully finished. Pity it has to be filled with cacky grease .
The "V-Chamber" is also turned from solid, but this time from a very hard nylon type material, Delrin possibly. This is placed just inside the grease reservoir after fitting the "O" ring. The "O" ring stops grease from escaping past the V-Chamber, but in practice, it's not really necessary as the fit between the two parts is extremely close.
Your chosen bearing is simply dropped into the V-Chamber and downward pressure is applied with the plunger. The pressure forces grease to enter the V- chamber via a hole in its bottom (Nice!!) and the grease will now try to get out of the TOP of the chamber, but there's a bearing blocking its path! This means that the grease has to pass THROUGH the bearing before making it's escape. As the grease passes into the bearing, a rotation of the plunger ensures it gets into every nook and cranny and you can be sure there's nowhere grease DIDN'T go.
Result is a bearing brim full of nice new gooey grease. All you have left to do is wipe off any "extra" grease that got through the bearing and you're ready to do another.
I 'd cleaned all my bearing before starting on the re-greasing, so any grease that was squeezed through the bearing was clean and re-usable so back into the pot it went to be used when I next filled the reservoir.
The plunger can be "up-ended" and placed over the reservoir when it's not being used, so everything stays in one place, making it hard to lose any individual component, but easy to lose the whole thing L Put yours somewhere safe.
As an addition to the Greaser, Precision also produce a bearing cleaner, which comprises two of the components of the Greaser with a slight difference. The V-chamber (which is the same) and the plunger, which isn't.
The V-chamber is placed in a container filled with solvent (I used paint thinners in an old saucepan) and the bearing placed inside the chamber as before. The plunger is chucked in a hand drill and is used to spin the bearing while it's "under water". Don't spin it at 3 million rpm as it's a little on the fast side. 600rpm is just about perfect! J
Bearings are cleaned in seconds, just make sure you dry them properly before re-greasing 'em, or you'll need to re-grease 'em again
The Greaser is one of those tools you never thought you needed until you've used it. Then you wonder how you ever greased bearings before. I wish I'd thought of the idea first!
