Greasing Rear Scissor - Help

[Sevey]

Hey Guys,
The two grease fittings at the back of the skid, on the scissor are being stubborn SOB's and wont take grease.
I have tried everything - heated it with hairdryer, had the back end suspended, had the back end collopsed and that thing wont let the grease flow into the tube.

Foot note:
gresae fitting is not blocked.
skid was completely overhauled in the summer so it is clean as a whistle.
heated it to the point the metal was warm so there is no way there is ice in there blocking flow.

Question - what do you do to get the grease in there.
Thanks
MS

Grease fittings suck lol. Try a paperclip, or other thin wire to see if the ball is actually compressing inside the fitting. Torch or heat source is to help melt crappy grease that maybe set up. Worst case remove the fitting and try it. If it works keep digging if not you can replace them

Thanks. The fittings on my skid are fixed, welded in place. Another thing is they don't have ball joints. I will try the paper clip to see if the block is right at the nipple, I have also heard compressed air will work.
I am a little weary of using heat from a torch around the other parts in the skid - shocks, track etc.
