Sure enough, I can get a welder on my doorstep over night for $70. What a world! Considering it's like $25 in tolls and $25 in gas to go get my welder, not a bad option!

Heck, just a replacement OE Turbo style dust cap is nearly $100, so whats another $70! ;-)

Interesting thought... How much pressure can a grease-gun/zerk-fitting really create before giving up or just blowing the hose off the fitting?
