Can't get grease gun off zerk fitting
I went to grease the front end of the TJ up for the first time last night with my new supercrap grease gun, I put the end of the grease gun to the zerk fitting and it clipped on, but now I can't get it off. Is there a special way of getting them off or what? I've had to drive to work with the end still attached to the fitting.

cool story! They are tight when new, and you should be able to pull it down to the side and it should unclip - don't pull back on the fitting.

Most of the fittings on the grease gun hose unscrew for adjustment.
Is there a nut on the hose end of the fitting?

I broke the nipples off two RE joints before I worked out that the fitting was adjustable
