Default Zircs - My dumb question of the month coupon

I just bought an air grease gun. I am amazed at how many zircs there

grease. Do you just put a new one in, or is there a way to soak/clean
these? I know they ain't expensive, I just need to take a couple off,
and take them down to match up, and buy a couple dozen. Is it worth
it messing with the old ones, and does it work, or are they trash
once they are plugged?

Those air guns are sweet, eh?

It might not be the zerk , the area that needs grease or the passage leading
to it may be clogged up with , well , crud .

Yeah, there were only a couple, but I used an ice pick and thin bladed
screwdriver to get the mud out of a couple to where the zirc was clear
and accessible.
