Re: Grease fittings on XJ
 

When I pump the one the grease won't even go in. The whole joint is
dry which leads me to beleive that it doesn't have grease. On the
other as soon as I pump it the grease pours back out. I've only done
this once or twive before to a trailer and it always went in nice and
easy. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. I have noticed that
there has been grease on my rims where one of the fittings would drip.

Unscrew one and take it to the parts store... and
for future reference, it's important to wipe the zerk
fitting off before injecting grease, prevents all this
headache.
