Default metric zerks?

Are the zerk grease fittings on the Kasea's a different type than our standard US automotive ones. I went to grease my new-used 90 and discovered that my standard grease gun won't fit on correctly. Can I change the fittings easily to standard or will I have trouble finding the right thread pitch? Or can I find another tip for the grease gun to fit the Kasea?

Unscrew the VERY tip of the grease gun fitting just a little bit (not off the hose....the end is actually 2 pieces)...........That adjust the jaws to fit tighter or more loose on the fitting..... I have never seen a different size grease fitting (the end that is.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img])

Thanks for the tip, I learn something everyday. I have never had to make that adjustment before, but it worked, except on one fitting which I can't get any grease to go into. I removed the fitting and it is not clogged, but when I put the zerk back in I can't get any grease to go in. The hose/connection gets so pressureized that I can't remove the grease gun from the zerk w/o loosening the 2 end pieces that you previously mentioned.

Take the zerk out and spray something like WD-40 in the hole and let it set for awhile, that may help.......what part are you talking about
? is it easy to take apart?

The part is the right rear A-arm mounting point.
