I bought a couple of grease needles made in the land of almost right. The zerk looks totally different from the normal ones everything else uses. I really had to force it to get connected to the end on the gun and after I was done I had a devil of a time getting it off. I had to pinch the gun end in the vise and use 2 screwdrivers to pry it out. Just for the heck of it, I measured a regular zerk and the one on the needle. The regular one was just a shade over .250 and the one on the needle was .275.
So, do I need a different end for the grease gun to use this needle? If so, where would I even look for one? Are there different sizes of zerks?? The replacement ball joints on my Dakota seem to be smaller than regular zerks, when I grease them, more grease comes out around the end of the gun than goes inside the ball joint. Has anyone else ran into this, or am I just not holding my mouth right? Chris
