I don't have enough room to be able to grease the gimbal bearing. There just isn't enough clearance between the zirk and the boat. I've been all over town trying to find a 90 degree coupler for my grease gun and now I'm wondering if anyone makes one at all. What do you all do/use? Would it be easier to just replace the zirk itself with a 45 or 90 degree? If so, what size are they?

Thanks alot!

I think the zerks have a standard thread ( whatever that is!). The O/E one is probably stainless. Nothing to stop you temporarily replacing it with a mild steel 45 or 90 deg. one to grease the gimbal bearing, then replacing the original.
