Landing Gear Grease - Fifth Wheel

My Cougar 318SAB has grease fittings on the landing gear accessible from the front storage area. With my compressed air grease gun, I have put grease in those fittings several times. It is a slow process with my inefficient grease gun, but grease does go in. However, unlike the cars of old that I have greased, I never see grease come out anywhere indicating it is full.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Maybe I'm just not getting enough grease in!

Thanks in advance,
Phil

The gears are at the top of that LONG SQUARE TUBE. It would takes LOTS of grease before it fills the square tube and starts oozing out anywhere. Your good with what you've done.
