## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.006 kg
-   177 applications across six engine series
-   Clutch group
-   One-way grease entry

## 🔌 Function

Provides a one-way entry point for a grease gun, letting fresh grease be pushed into a bearing while the ball check stops it escaping.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Grease gun will not take, so nothing goes in
-   Grease escaping back out around the nipple as you pump
-   Ball missing or the nipple head knocked off
-   Nipple blocked solid with hardened grease or dirt
-   Bearing running dry or noisy despite being greased

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Wipe the nipple clean before applying the gun, as dirt pushed in with the grease does more harm than a dry bearing
-   Renew a nipple that will not take grease rather than forcing it, since the ball may be seized

## 📦 Condition

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
-   Brand new
-   Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
