Grease fittings issue

[ZLarryb]

Hull 1467, just picked up in January.  I am trying to grease the axle fittings for the first time with little success.  I bought a new locknlube grease gun and a 90 degree extension.  I primed it ..... after a bit of a hassle.

 

Only one of the four of five fittings I have tried to grease have accepted it.  The rest come out the front of the fitting, not into the fitting.  I order another extension just in case it is faulty but I have a feeling it is me.  

Any tricks or suggestions?

Jack up the side of the trailer that the fittings are on that you are trying to grease. This will relieve any pressure being placed onto the wet bolts by the weight of the trailer. That usually makes it much easier to get them to take grease. You may never get it to squirt out both ends of the bushing equally.

That would never have occurred to me, back to the camper, thanks a lot!

So that really helped a lot.  There is still one that will not respond.  I will try again tomorrow when I am fresh and will not cuss it. ;-), thanks again for the help.

There are 16 zerks (8 on each side), THIS video from Oliver (Jason) is a good reference for where the zerks are and how to apply the grease.
