COYS
SILVER Star
I have replaced the lock on coupler on my grease gun with an 18" hose and a permanent "needle" style nozzle. It is easier to deal with on ALL zerks than to try to wrestle a separate piece for the one zerk that is difficult.
Don't forget, you have a lift on your truck. This changed the angle of the driveshaft and therefore the angle of the U-Joints and the accessibility of the zerks. Your lift is not so extreme as to cause issues, but it is not easier.
Also, make sure that when you are greasing your U-Joints and yokes that you have your driveline unloaded. This means the transmission in neutral, parking brake set, wheels chocked. This will allow the grease to get on all sides of the yokes and U-joints.
