Thanks, JKU. I have greased a lot of fittings in my day but never anything brand new like these. I was perplexed. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has faced this problem. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new seals that are used with these new bushings. they fit tight and don't really allow any room for the grease to go. I'm going to try pulliing up the rubber seal when I add the grease to see if it allows the grease to flow throught the bushing.
