My grease gun always gets stuck and is difficult to remove from the Zerk fitting on my Bearing Buddies. I've had the same problem on different trailers with diferrent Bearing Buddies. Are there different sizes of grease gun tips available to solve this problem?

Apparently you are just pulling on the grease gun to disconnect it. Try pivoting the gun up down or sideways to help pry itself free.

Does your grease gun tip not adjust? Check it out as most do. Just turn the end counter clockwise to loosen the tip.......Irv964

I pivot/wiggle it around and it still sticks pretty well.

I'll check tomorrow to see if the tip is adjustable.
