This means that there is still an air pocket between the grease and the head of the grease gun. This is a common issue (We also experienced this at DST headquarters while making our video) but there are two easy solutions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>If your grease gun has an air release<\/i> then you can prime it by unscrewing the release a few turns, pulling the plunger out, and pushing it back in. This should push any air out of the grease gun and allow the grease to flow just fine.<\/li>\n<li><i>If your grease gun does not have an air release<\/i> then you basically want to repeat <a href=\"#step7\">steps 7-9<\/a>; unscrew the head of the grease gun about two turns, prime the gun with the plunger, and tighten the head.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 pt15\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/lazyload-218-163.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.suspension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/air-locked-grease-gun-solution.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive img-fluid img-rounded lazy\" alt=\"solution for air locked grease gun\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"title\" id=\"loadingGreaseGunTips\">Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you are using the right type of grease for your application.<\/li>\n<li>Best practice is to use the same kind of grease in one grease gun since there will be grease left in the gun from previous use.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the grease fitting and the nozzle of the grease gun before use.
