Grease nipples

[heritage machining]

Ok so on the bobcat it was sitting fo a good couple of years before I got it and I have a few grease nipples that I can't get any grease into so today I tried as hard as I could and managed to break the coupler on the grease gun is it likely to be the nipples or the pins it was used in a dusty environment before I got it I'm hoping just the nipples

Usually a lump of dried grease in the grease galleries. I don't know how safe it is but I was taught to remove the pin and heat it whilst trying to pump grease in.

As smithy said warm then with blow torch or whip out and clean out behind

I bought 1 2 weeks ago I had similar issue and it forced the grease through. Unfortunately I can't get the saker on ½ of the nipples so it's come back off the gun
