Have you tried changing the coupler on the grease gun? They do wear out aft=
er some years of use.  I have a 25 year old grease gun that I have change t=
wice, both time making it work like new again.

Here is some good general information (somewhat tongue in cheek) on zerks a=
nd couplers, even about how to reverse the jaws in the couplers to provide =
a new mating surface to the zerk:
