jaoneil,

Sorry for the hijack of the thread. Are you referring to the grease zerks on the spring shackles of your trailer? Have you tried removing the zerks and then pushing grease through to check them? I had one grease zerk on a shackle that would not take grease. I saw it was a good zerk but no grease would flow. I had to rotate the bolt the zerk was fitted to about 90 degrees then it would take grease.
