This may be a trivial-sounding question, but I'm not to familiar with this stuff...

So I have Energy Suspension bushings on my sway bars that have a grease-gun ("Zerk") fitting on them, as seen here:

Its time to re-lube them. When I mounted them, I used tiny tubes of their "formula five" lube - it seems like good stuff, and I'd like to keep using it. But it only seems to come in tiny tubes like this or a 8-oz tub like this.

All the grease guns I find on a casual search use very large tubes of grease. Is there any tiny gun that will accept this sort of tiny tube that the formula-five comes in, but will still give enough force/pressure to push it through the Zerk fitting? Or, how else can I go about doing this? I'd rather not use some random generic lube if I don't have to, as the energy Suspension stuff seems to work well.

I buy all my grease guns and fittings from McMaster Carr:

Just start typing in the search/find field for "Grease Gun" and you seen many sizes and styles.
You may have to transfer the grease to an empty tube depending on what type you get.
But browse around and see if you find something you like.

See if you can find a grease gun designed to lube the nose wheel on a chain saw. They are small and have a needle end on them.

hey thanks a lot I think I found what I needed on mcmaster The smaller hand-pumped ones can be loaded simply via suction, so that will work fine with a loose tub of grease. No need for special cartridges or other transfering.
thanks!
