As part of annual prop service, I am having some trouble getting the grease to go into the zirc fitting. I followed the Hartzell manual instructions, removing one of the fittings and cleaning it out with a wire. Trying to inject Aeroshell #6 into the other side of the blade with a standard automotive grease gun. Nothing seems to go into the fitting, it just blobs around the outside. It definitely is not coming out the side with the fitting removed. Is there a special attachment I need to get for the grease gun? Temperature in the hangar is in the 40's....maybe the grease is too solid from the cold temp? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
