He also has a shop fabricate a replacement line with a mid-point disconnect for easier future repairs, plus a quick grease-gun cartridge tip at the end. Best for owners facing this exact repair.
Appears to be an owner-operator working on his own 3046R, sharing unpolished DIY repair footage rather than a professional or dealer presentation.
You have to remove the fuel/water separator to see it, since the line runs behind a steel plate and down near the engine, making it hard to reach without extra steps.
The fitting is 21 millimeters.
So if the line gets damaged again, only the short section needs replacing instead of tearing apart the whole side of the engine to reach the connection.
Turn the grease gun upside down in a vise, pull the bar back to lock it, remove the old grease cartridge, and insert a new grease tube.
