Well Phooey. I removed a grease fitting and cleaned out the hole. I can see the spindle turning so I know the bearing hole is in the right place. Spraying Kriol in the area and tried again and again. I tried a air grease gun as well. I have used up a full tube of grease and a roll of paper towels. No luck an any of the spindle fittings. I did get two of the shock links greased by changing out the fittings. The
Bratton's fitting seem a little loose so maybe it is shot.

Time not all lost: While the car was jacked up I balanced the front t res.
