Hey guys, I am installing Al's A-Arms and am having trouble getting grease into the zerk fitting. I just bought a grease gun. Is there a special tip I need to use. Every time I try to put grease in it just goes all around the fitting, I don't think any is going in.

Thanx in Advance

It could be full.

They come ungreased.

Sounds like the tip of the grease gun is not "locking" onto the zerk. I had the same problem before I got a better grease gun.

What Warblade said.
The grease gun connector should snap into the zerk fitting on the ball joint.
Some guns come with a different sized connector that will be too big. I forget the size you need, but if it's not snapping into the zerk, it's probably the wrong size.

Sometimes the ball at the end of the zerk can also be stuck. pushing it in with the tip of a punch can free it up.
