What happens here

While attempting to lubricate the loader arms, the presenter encounters several stubborn grease fittings that refuse to accept grease. He demonstrates adjusting the position of the loader arms to relieve pressure on the pins, which often helps. When a grease gun attachment breaks, he uses needle-nose pliers to remove the broken part. He attempts to replace the fitting with a new one from a 'Workforce metric grease fitting kit,' successfully installing it. However, the new fitting also proves problematic, as grease still won't pump into the joint. He suspects the internal bushing is seized and tries to loosen it by operating the skid steer's hydraulics and hitting the pins with a rubber mallet. This eventually loosens the joint enough for grease to flow.

Goal: The presenter encounters seized grease fittings on the skid steer, demonstrating techniques like adjusting machine position, using a rubber mallet, and replacing faulty fittings to ensure proper lubrication.
