You may have the problem I had of buying a piece of crap gun. The nozzle of it should loosen and tighten to allow it to lock onto a fitting.

Did someone say nipples?

There should be one size. What control arms do you have?
A problem I had was the actual fitting wasn't tightened all the way and the grease wasn't making it's way into the joint, it was instead leaking out the side of the Zerk.
After I tightened the fitting all went well.

I think Teraflex utilizes a needle zerk on some of their joints.

Make sure they're nipples and not bleeders used in brakes saw a guy make that mistake once took a solid 5 minutes to get the grease gun off of it
