George,
I will go ahead and soak it. We have tried to loosen it but it did not budge. I don’t know if it has been modified. Peter’s looks different than mine.
Ken
Here is another picture out of the water pump.
Thank you everyone for your help. Peter here is a picture of my cup it looks like a regular grease fitting. It looks like it should come apart. When we tried to loosen the cap the whole unit came out of the water pump.
I appreciate everybody helping.
Ken
George thank you for getting back to me. We took the Grease Cup off the Water Pump and there is a small hole through the center of the threads. Is that where I need to pack the grease into? For some reason I was thinking the Grease should be packed into the top. The cup itself looks like it should separate but we were unable to figure out how to back it off.
I appreciate you impute,
Ken
I have the Lubricant and was able to get it from a Petroleum Dealer, JB Dewar.
They were nice enough to just give me some. They stated that they get in 9 pound quantities.
I do have a question about how do I go about filling the cup. I have books and the owners manual but none of them address that topic. I guess the figure a guy should know how to fill the cup. When I put the grease inside the packing it came out of the back of the gland nut. I tried to loosen the Grease Cup and it just came out completely.
Thank you for the help,
Ken
George,
I have a call into our local Farm Supply here is San Luis Obispo. Thank you for the tip on Calcium Grease. When he calls me back I will ask him about that.
Ken
Ed and Tony,
Thank you very much. I will order water pump grease.
Ken
George,
Is it okay to use wheel bearing grease for a boat trailer in the water pump cup? What do you recommend?
Thank you.
Ken
Great looking Pierce Arrow, Congratulations, Thank you for sharing your win.
Here is a picture of my dash it is the color of the body. It has the
wood trim of the Deluxe in the Photos.

Hello Randy,
I am trying to post the picture of my dash and am having problems. I haven’t been able to post pictures for a week. My wood surround is shiny it has been restored so I am not sure if mine is correct either.
I will take another picture tomorrow and see if that will post.
Ken
Thank you for the education once again.
Does the Dash look different on either one?
I know mine is a Deluxe but I had no idea that there
was difference when I bought until Peter told me when I joined the
club.
Thanks,
Ken
Peter,
Thank you for the information. You have a wealth of information. Please keep
sharing.
Ken
Hello Peter and Randy,
I do have a pair of Driving shoes. I will give that at try. Randy I was thinking the same thing this morning about my modern car and playing with the seat.
Thank you for helping me with my seating space. I need to also get rid of my Gut.
Ken
Peter,
That is a lot of great information. I am wondering what the measurement is
from the floor to the top of your cushion with out the 1X2’s? How far are the
pedals from your seat?
I know I am still going to have to loose weight to get my legs in. I am
motivated.
Thanks,
Ken
That is a first for me. I had no idea there was such a thing out there.
Greg,
Thank you for the useful information. I will copy it and put it in a file where
I can access it when needed. I have a spare engine and will go out and take a look at the access hole and brass plate to see what you are referring to.
Ken
Peter,
I will be waiting with open ears to hear what effect it has on leg room.
I hope it works. That would be an easy fix.
Ken
Thank you everyone for the information. I am hoping to that by taking some
of the padding out it will help me fit into the car. Does anyone have a picture
of a Sedan Deluxe with the Upholstery off so I can see what it looks like?
Thanks,
Ken
Tom,
Beautiful looking Pierce Arrow. Hope to see it in California sometime.
