i have a couple grease zerks on the front end that i cannot get to with my regular grease gun.

(i have a cheap-o hand pump grease gun with a fexible rubber hose that goes to a typical zerk connector head.

there is not enough clearnace for the head to fit correctly onto the zerk. (the head would fit over the zerk, if i had more room) do they sell smaller heads or "right angle heads"

any ideas? :confused:

Can you replace your current grease fittings with 90 degree fittings? I am tempted to try that on the inner tie rod ends as they are not easy to get the gun on them.

Piece of cake,just steer the wheel left or right till the zerk is accessable.
