"Hi, my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips we're going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace a front wheel drive vehicles Ball Joint. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to grease your new Ball Joint or other plumbing component. As you can see there's a fitting right here, that is called a grease girt. I'm going to take my grease gun and it'll pop right in on it. Take and give and give her a couple pumps. These components come with a very small amount of grease in them when they're made. It's pretty much just for assembly purposes. You're going to want to pump it full until grease comes out of the boot. Alright, as you can see we got some grease beginning to come out. That is going to mean it's full. I'm going to give it one more pump just so you can see it real good. There you go. And that's the proper way to grease your Ball Joint."
