It is possible that the grease fitting u descibe is a drive-in fitting. Rather uncommon. my executive has such drive-in fittings on the outboard TL tranverse rods. But if i remebr rite they had a hex on them for a wrench. I'll go look in a few minutes.

Inspect closely to see if there is a hex for a wrench or not. If they are a drive in type then use a pair of vise grips to twist and yank it out. Tht's what i had to do on mine.

Replaceing the grease fittings can sometimes be avoided by a little wd-40 and a small punch to work the ball in the grease fitting back and forth.
