Don't force it, just push & wiggle firmly.quote:

Thanks Ken2 and Satterfi, I will put a vice grip on the fitting and see if I can force it on. I see that there are different sizes zerks at Farm & Fleet but the size seems so different that confusion would be precluded. The larger ones are for big ag or construction equipment, I think.

If you force it on, be prepared for not being able to get it off or having to buy a $10 zerk extractor tool and a new zerk.

I have a catalog that looks like there are 5 different sizes of Alemite brand fittings. I could be wrong about it being 5, it could be 3 with 2 being a different shape. It's pretty confusing and annoying because I've ran across different sizes or the head is a slightly different shape and the coupler doesn't fit right.
