Thanks. That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Figured it was better to ask
first before doing something dumb.

Yeah, once. Maybe twice. But the shop I bought it from recommended greasing it

than I really want to have to do if I can just have the zerk moved to where I
can reach it with the grease gun.
