Re: how to remove tapered grease fittings
you mean original style press in? if you dont plan to reuse them locking pliers and a little twist and usually pop out.

Re: how to remove tapered grease fittings
I couldn't get mine to pop out. I ended up drilling out with a tap drill for a 1/4-28 thread and tapping with a 1/4-28 tap. Installed a new fitting into the hole. So far it is working well and looks almost like it belongs there.

Why replace them? They take grease just fine with the original gun.

Re: how to remove tapered grease fittings
I have had good luck using a hammer and cold chisel. With light hammer taps work around the edge of the fitting and gently wedge the fitting up and out of the socket. The key word is "gentle” so you wedge the fitting up and not cut it off!!!
