Default Tie rod ends not taking grease

I recently installed new tie rod ends on my cart (purchased from the CC dealer), but they won't accept any grease from my grease gun. I already removed the fittings to make sure they are not stuck. Any ideas??

Default Re: Tie rod ends not taking grease

This is quite common with NEW tie rod ends on golf carts? I dont know why they are so tight when new but? I find that you need a compound high pressure grease gun or an air powered gun until they break in. I am using a Grainger #4BY72 10000 Lbs pressure gun that has a hard time with new tie rods. Tractor Supply has a good one that nehibor is using #3951137.
Hopefully you wont need to grease them for quite awhile after installation as they should be full when built? I know I always want to fill them after installing too??

Thanks OLD MEC, I will wait to try to put some grease in after 6 months or so. I think my neighbor has a high pressure grease gun I can use when the time comes.

When lubing new joints always flex joint from side to side to help getting grease through.
