*How to Replace a Broken Grease Nipple on a Steering Kingpin | Harbor Freight M6 Fitting Fix*

If you've ever snapped a brass grease fitting while maintaining your boat's outboard steering system, you're not alone! In this video, I walk you through how I broke a grease nipple while using a new grease gun-and how I fixed the problem using a metric M6 grease fitting from a Harbor Freight assortment kit.

You'll see how I removed the broken nipple, identified the correct thread size (M6), installed a steel replacement, and pumped in marine grease until it oozed out like it should. This DIY maintenance tutorial is perfect for anyone working on boat steering, trailers, or small vehicles with kingpins or pivot points.
