Nipple troubles

[Chrispy]

Why is there is never a forum for your problems? so here I am in off topic again!

Nipples, I can't connect up to my nipples, can any one help me? there just in the daftest places there just isn't the space to get a grease gun to hook up, well of coarse grease nipples what were you thinking?

Is there a grease gun connector that feeds a normal nipple but doesn't need to clamp on to it, if i could just push against it like you do with a flush or conical type thing or a very slim line connector then that would save me changing them all, I assume there must be something out there or it means this machine has never been greased properly which I find difficult to believe.

Ideas and advice appreciated.

What about the ones with the conical end that just push in on the actual ball?

How about this one?

Will they work with these fittings though? if they will any idea where to get one from.
Some are in such a tight places I'm not even sure if I could remove them to replace with a different type.

Not saying this is best or cheapest, just an example. I had a gun with one of these years ago, it was years before I used the other type.

I don't see why not as they are only as wide as the grease gun tube.
The one I have is 7/16 AF, all you do is push it in and pump away!

Have you tried The nipple shop?
I'm sure they know all there is to know about nipples , how to get to them and what to do with them once you have.

Who would have thought that nipples could cause so much trouble.
Thanks Nev I've sent them a message now.
