Take the fitting out and see if you can dig it out with a sharp metal object. Clear it out as best you can, re-install the fitting and see if it works.

If the fitting is clear, Ive had some that would take grease better if you jacked that side off the ground. They also make the grease injectors now. Its like a punch filled with grease, and you put it on the fitting, and hit it with a hammer to force the grease in.

The pins maybe frozen and not take grease and the only fix is to replace them and keep them greased.
