If grease has been pumped in prior, it will clog rather quickly. Even the use of the proper lubricant dries and hardens through the past decades.
I have taken many NOS springs apart for my restorations and found each and every one was dried up and had to scrape the "stuff" out before bead blasting and powder finishing the individual leaf's.

The path of least resistance is no resistance. The slightest pump on the gun (I am talking no more than an ounce of pressure) causes all kinds of grease to escape. I appreciate all your thoughts Kube.
