control arms

[pdxhall]

I just finished a complete rebuild of my 66 1/2 ton front suspension. New everything. I went to grease up everything and I can't get any of the top or bottom control shaft bushings to take any grease. I am using a hand pump grease gun. Do I need more pressure to force the grease in or is there some other issue or solution? All alignments of the shafts were done to spec.

did you replace the greese nips? they might be gunked up

[pdxhall]

yeah, all new grease fittings. Everything is new.

I guess nobody has ever run in to this problem or has any ideas. I'll search for advice somwhere else....thanks

I have had them hard to pump up with grease. Some times slow to pump but never not take grease.

My S10 did this with the upper ball joints. It took several tries, but they eventually started going in...i went through almost a whole tube of grease and lots of napkins.
