Easy question- I greasing the upper A-arm on my '71. It won;t take grease. i figure i have a bad zerk- so I replace the fitting with a new one and try again. It still won't take grease. I figured this was a no-brainer operation- but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Try loosening the shaft cap a little. Maybe a 1/2 or full turn. Then try the grease gun again.
