Hello,
I had to lubricate the roller furling system and found that the tube with the nozzle on it was useless as grease leaked out the damaged tube. I bought a large syringe, cut the bottom of the grease tube and packed the grease into the syringe. It worked great as I could now force grease into the bearings as the nozzle of the syringe sealed around the grease hole; nice and clean job as well.
All the best,
Alastair
