Even used to do a very naughty trick to free up blocked grease passages in stuck pins where you would dig out as much old manky grease as possible, top it up with thin oil and screw a fitting to attach the grease gun to.
Then have at it.
If that didnt work it was usually a remove the pin job

To be honest I am not really sure, I just went with what the manufacturer of the grease gun advised on the web, would interesting to test it sometime, it certainly seems to be an unexpected source of high pressure available in the workshop. I know it worked a treat on this problem when we were all scratching our heads....Cheers
