    Hi Everyone, before winter sets in here in the Canadian North, just looking for suggestions on a grease gun tip. As we all know the grease (zerk) fittings on the front u joints of the drive shafts can be a bear to get hooked onto and stay on while pumping the grease gun. Currently I just have the standard straight tip on a flexible hose from the grease gun. Looking for suggestions on what tip to buy to speed this service item along. Any pics, links on Amazon or websites would be appreciated. Cheers

    I just hold the tip in place with one hand and pump with the other, 3 pumps Max! (not until it comes out of seams - that is Too much).
