  1. That's pretty clever, but I wonder if it could be done the same way I do it on my Sport 1100i -- with a standard flexible hose and a pair of pliers. 1. Remove the flexible hose from the grease gun. 2. On the flexible hose, the coupler is made in two halves that screw together. Unscrew the tip about 1/4 - 1/2 turn. This reduces the spring pressure on the on the internal part that clamps onto the nipple. 3. Push the coupler onto the grease fitting. It should just drop on. 4. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the tip of the coupler (the part you unscrewed), and rotate the flexible hose clockwise. This will screw the two halves of the coupler back together. 5. Re-connect the hose to the grease gun. I hold the hose with one hand and use the other to rotate the grease gun to tighten them together. 6. Pump grease. 7. To remove, give the grease gun a good yank to pull the coupler off the fitting. The hoses seem to be pretty strong and can take it.
