I had one fitting that wouldn't take grease. Had to jack the wheel up a little to remove the load.
Good tip... Had a similar issue this year on two zerks. I replaced the zerks thinking they were rusted up bit didn't fix the problem. Based on a tip I got here earlier this year taking weight off the suspension allowed me to pump grease in.
That's the reason I thought chamfering the lube hole (where it meets the bushing) in the bolt to aid ease of lubrication entry into the bushing. rockin'
This is what is on our alpenlite. I had the older ones replaced when the new springs were installed this summer. The older bolts were the greaseable also.
