[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 235841, member: 22283"] A normal manual grease gun will create about 7000 PSI. Some guns create 10-12k. (btw...contary to popular belief, a hand gun will create much more force than an air powered gun. Most air pumps will be 40-50:1 ...if you have 100lbs house air, then the pump will only create 4000-5000 psi.) Most full size hand guns will push out approx. 1cc of grease with each pump. Once a seal has been violated you will need to continue to grease the bearing frequently to insure that contaminant is pushed out. If you grease from one side, I garantee the other side will see grease before the seals pop. I would highly suggest that you DO use pressure relief zerks. Just pump in one stroke at a time and remove. On the stroke that is too much grease, you will see the stuff come out of the pressure relief zerk and you won't have placed enough to blow the seals. Remeber though, once your seals have blown (grease gets past them) then the pressure relief zerk is moot. [/QUOTE]
