yes they have a straw but its tight quarters without a lift to reduce the human contortion.

I may indeed resort to the grease gun

thanks

 

I have an attachement for my grease gun that fits on the grease nozzle with a zerk fitting and is used for greasing universal joints. It looks like a needle on steroids so it has a wee bitty hole in it to try to get the pointy end on the hole on the universal that has a grease fitting on it. It might work for what you are trying to do if you have one too.

 

i own a small crappy grease gun and know not what a zerk thang is

 

This Thang!
