STD Bravo coupler zerk fittings
 

Evening guys, I'm away from home at work right now. Could anyone tell me the zerk fitting size for a standard Bravo coupler and if there are any other specifics I should know in terms of the zerk design ie (wide base, long neck, 5/16 hex, 3/8 hex etc etc). I know it has to be a 45 but thats about it. I'd like to get some ordered.. Thanks.

I looked in my engine manual and couldn't find a thing -- sorry

I do know that don't buy a zerk coupler from harbor freight - had one stick to the zerk fitting and I don't want to tell you the problem I had getting it off -- came real close to pulling the drive off

geeze! Note to self for sure! Thanks for the bump. I saw the merc # for them but I cant derive any additional data online. Kinda hoping someone would be able to link me something.. I'm pulling drives when I get home so no huge deal if I cant put zerks on when their off; I'll just grease the splines by hand. Thanks.

Since you were at work and I'm on vacation - I even tried to do a web search-- couldn't find anything. I would stop by an auto parts store and get a couple sizes of zerks - 45 degree is what is on ours 7.4mpi Bravo 3- and see what fits -- they can't be expensive.

Sorry I couldn't be more help

all the best

I did do that when I was home thinking I could just screw them in; I'm sure I dont need to tell you how that worked out . One thing is all the zerks I found were carbon steel; I'm wondering if the correct ones are ss? The bigger picture here is I want to have them on hand when I get home; I live in a pretty rural area and it's entirely possible I may not be able to find what I need.. so, just as long as you and I keep the thread going someone is bound to comment as some point, lol.... just kidding; but thanks for the idea..

call the bigger auto stores and see if they have a zerk assortment.

Thanks, I already have an assortment.
Anyone else, correct size, are they ss?

Call Jonh or Clint at THE BRAVO SHOP in the Ozarks he will know for shure. (800) 792-7286

Ok, I got it figured out. Their just std 45 zerks, nothing special.. Thanks guys..

Propelling from the OP question, is it satisfactory to just lube the coupler via the installed zerk fitting for routine service?
