Should be no problem, as long as the zerk isn't blocked.  A standard hand gun
will put out more pressure than an air gun anyway.

Any place that sells grease guns should also sell various extensions.  One
source is MMC :

(search for grease gun)

As I recall, Pep Boys had both flexible and metal extensions.
