I was doing the annual propeller maintenance today. I removed the zerk fitting to add more grease. While removing, the head of the zerk separated from the threaded portion of the zerk. Now I have the threaded portion of the zerk stuck in the hole in the prop hub. Any suggestions on how to get it out? I?d hate to have to drill it out and potentially get metal shaving inside the prop hub.
Also, anyone know if the hole is imperial or metric? I plan on replacing with a plug instead of a zerk, but not sure if it?s a 1/4 inch or 6 mm hole size.
I hate it when what should be a simple job becomes a huge ordeal!
Thanks
