350c thrown track

So I threw the other track now. I was able to pump some grease in the adjuster to extend it some and break the stuck piston and then collapse the tensioner piston. Then it took me a couple days to get the track back on the sprocket- I then put the zero fitting and bolt in and went to pump the piston out to tighten the track- grease came out the bottom of the adjuster instead of filling it and extending it——-
I just remembered it needed a bb at the bottom of the bolt and have ordered a new one- hopefully that is the issue?

Probably so, if it's an original style adjuster, remember you do not need to take the bolt all the way out just loosen it till grease starts to flow out the hole. Then you are less likely to loose the BB.

I guess a loose bolt would allow the grease to release- but when dealing with a stuck stiff cylinder I wanted 0 restrictions as I was already fighting a losing battle-
Good to know for future tho-
BB comes in a couple days so hopefully that solves it
