Can we please stop calling them Zerks!
I've just been out cleaning the wires, and took the opprotunity to pump a few shots in, and take a general look around. It's true that I have the luxury of carpet tiles, but over my whole motoring career, I've never had a car without nipples, and I didn't always have a garage. Pre-marriage, I dug a shallow grave between the flagstones on the front lawn and in doing so exhumed somebody's dog. Most unfortunate. So I laid in the earth pit on an ex WD blanket to service the Dolomite propshaft nipples of which there were three. Each one having a grub screw to take out first and replace after inserting the nipple, greasing, then removing. It was also necessary to rotate the prop to access each one. MGB's & Midgets have two or sometimes three a side on the kingpins, and usually I took the wheels off to make sure that the grease was going where it should be going. You don't need to do many kingpin replacements to realise that it's important to make sure it gets where it should. So that's why for me, remote greasing is unthinkable.
