[Nobbc] Grease gun question

[gtwincams at gmail.com]

One trick I use is to mill or grind flats on two sides of the fitting; this makes it possible to fit into tight driveshaft yoke spaces.
To lubricate tower trunnions on front suspensions, I use a high-pressure pump oiler with thin rubber hose slipped onto the thin nozzle but cut off flush to the nozzle end; this permits a good seal to the threaded hole on the trunnion that is usually fitted with a Zerk nipple or plug. (Gear oil is correct for trunnions - not grease.)
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian

Yes, excellent point! I should have mentioned the flex hose as I also 
use one and find it indispensible. I occasionally have trouble 
disconecting from some fittings but if I loosen the two part end (of the 
hose) they pop right out. Also it's much easier to just install a grease 
cartridge then to take loose grease and fill a tube as in the "correct" gun.
