Grease Fitting R&R
After a couple of tests I have concluded I need to replace ALL of the grease 'ZERK' fittings on my '59. Now before I go crazy with a wrench does anybody have suggestions on how to best approach this task without breaking fittings and cursing alot??

I would use a socket that fits snug over it and a 1/4 " ratchet. I changed all the ones on my 50 F-1 and never broke any. You can always spray with penetrating oil the night before to help.

I agree with barry, 1/4" socket, best to use a six point if ya got it. I got lazy once and used the closest thing to me while laying under my 54 and that happened to be a small cresent then pliers, 
well ya know thats when the real trouble begun.
