[owenbyc]

hey everyone how ya'll doing? well today i greased 11 zerk fittings in the front end. i went to the rear end to grease the u-joint fitting and the fitting on my gun will not go on. the fitting on my gun wont fit inbetween so i cant get it on the zerk fitting. i dont know if im doing something stupid and having a brain fart but i cant grease it. any ideas anyone? can you get a smaller fitting for your gun thats smaller in diameter? thanks again

You need a needle adapter for your grease gun.

Hey thanks leo. Can i get this at advance or autozone

[LeoS41280]

I think you can get one at any parts store.

Do only the 4wd trucks have U-joint grease fittings? I haven't seem any on my 2004 2wd Suburban but I did find all 11 on the front end suspension. I wish it did have U-joint grease fittings.

Trucks that have had a u-joint replaced will usually have a grease fitting.
