Default 33 grease fitting????

Hello, have a problem with a lower king pin grease fitting on my car, tried everything I can think of, cannot get grease into this fitting. There is a hole drilled through the bushing, I have used heat, tried one of those pressure/hammer blasters, nothing works. I don't want to take it all apart, any other ideas? Thanks

Have you thought about replacing the grease fitting?

i would unhook the tie rod so you can wiggle it back and forth to feel the drag. remove the zerk, then try to wash it out with spray penetrating oil while wiggling at the same time. once you get the crud washed out and it moves free it should take grease.

Good advice above. Not mentioned but probably obvious is to have it jacked up while doing this.
