CeeWoo -

Did you have a chance to read the tutorial on this topic in the Tech Library? In that document, the question of releasing the gun from the zerk came up, and it was pointed out by one of our members that the nozzle on the tip of the grease gun, where it pops over the zerk, can be rotated! And when you rotate it one way, it tightens the grip on the zerk - rotating the other way loosens the grip. Who knew? I certainly didn't.

Anyway, you can rotate the nozzle to a point that it is easy to release, but not so loose that it leaks or falls off.
