Try replacing the grease fittings first, they should screw out with a small socket or wrench.

On the fitting see if you can take center punch and tap lightly with a hammer to free up the ball in the center. A lot of times it will just be stuck closed.

Or else get a needle tip.  The grease fittings official name are Zerk Fittings.  You can pick up a new one for cheap also.
