The grease fitting for gimbel bearing on the outdrive was fell off after I pumped in the grease. Its threads were wore out. I was able to tie it back in with a 8mm. Should I be concerned? How to replace it with a new fitting? Thank you.
Maybe you could just replace it with a threaded plug and then only install the grease fitting when you need to pump in the grease. Or you could go to a larger threaded or pressed-in grease fitting, or you might could JB Weld your fitting in place. Good Luck!
