grease fittings on BBK control arms

[gcd1970]

Has anyone experienced problems with the grease fittings on BBK's rear lower control arms? My fittings are shot after one greasing. If I try to grease them, they fall out or get stuck in my greasguns's nozzzle. I drive 'em back in with a 1/4 socket but if I try to grease them, they pop out again.??Thanks

I thought those grease zerk fittings generally screwed in?

There supposed to. These had fine threads on them which stripped when they pooped out. I only used 4-5 pumps of the grease gun. It must be a design or build problem.
