I have some grease nipples with problematic accessibility that a standard gun does not get there due to its size.
So I got a grease gun from a friend that has a flexible hose that was ok, but still the end was too big in dia. to get in between the narrow space I have there.
So, I assume I need a grease gun with a flexible hose but a smaller head then std that still be be fitting a std grease nipple...
Please your recommendations.
Thanks and a nice weekend.
Re: What grease gun for narrow/hard to reach places?
I bought a grease gun accessory kit from Harbor Freight years ago and it has all the end fittings to reach all the needed places on my M20. However, I replaced all the quirky original grease fittings with zerks. The threads match with the M20 female threads and they will mate better with the HF end fittings without leaking/squirting grease sideways everywhere.

Second fitting proper nipples to replace those genuine Tecament tapered ones.
I use a Tricor gun at home and when going to rallies that are a week or more or if I ma riding to it.
The Tricor guns have no plunger and don't leak.
They have long hoses on the and and you can buy a 90 deg coupler for the end if direct access is difficult, like wheel hubs
I have a normal ( strait ) 45 deg & 90 deg .
Any bearing shop or engineering supply shop will carry them as they are standard stock items

Sorry, I checked the HFT (Harbor Freight Tools) online store and they no longer carry the fitting kit. However, essentially the same kit is available on Amazon.com
