Found a good price here.

That's the one! And it is a very good price; I paid about $10.

For those with a larger grease gun the needle fitting is a no-brainer but since I didn't own a grease gun this little guy was perfect.

Use a sharp probe to push in the ball in the center of the fitting on the door before you use for the first time.

If the grease inisde the hinge has hardened, you may have trouble getting it to flow. Some use heat (as previously described in this thread) and some squirt solvent through the hole in the zerk.

It took my entire weight leaning against the gun but I was able to get all my doors to flow grease without any special treatment, so hopefully you will too.

And as has been described, after a few days try it again. And a few days after that wipe up as much of the overflow as you can.

You will be amazed at how smooth the doors work afterwards. And when you close them they sound like a bank vault.
