Grinding Down a Grease Gun Coupler

[TheLawnRanger]

Have you ever used an angle grinder to get a coupler to a hard to reach zerk? How difficult was the process? I would rather use the coupler than a needle nozzle if possible.

I assume these zerks can't be replaced with 90-degree or other offset styles?

I ground a 45 degree spot on mine years ago for something, and worked fine.

I have modified many grease guns over the years. My current one I had to bend the metal tube to make it work on my Jeep ball joints.

Would a 90' coupler help?
