The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 5/16 Press in Grease Fitting Doesn't Fit (too small)

Had the same problem as you with the rear shackles. As a temporary solution, I glued fittings in place. Ended up replacing the shackles as they were worn out and gummed up with ancient grease. Press-in-fittings work flawlessly with new shackles. I used new style fittings because they are easier to grease than the older ones.
