MX5200 Grease problem

[NBCJimmy]

I can't get the grease nipple on the right front tire of my MX5200 to take any grease. I took the grease nipple off and it seems OK. I lifted the front end up with the bucket and it still won't take grease. Any Suggestions?
Thanks

So are you saying that you took the grease nipple off, attached it your grease gun, pumped grease through it and it seems ok? And when you confirmed grease flow through the nipple you replaced it on the tractor and it won't take grease?

I've used heat from a Propane torch to get things flowing. Just a little warm up may get it to free up.

When I borrowed a backhoe attachment from my nephew to use on my Bobcat, I tried to grease all of the zerks and one would not take grease. I removed the zerk and had to use picks to remove the 'petrified' grease to get it to take grease.

If the zerk is passing grease than the grease may have hardened
