I just finished greasing my wet bolts yesterday. I had one that would not take grease. It was the center bolt that the CRE 3000 pivoted on. I jacked up by frame, put floor jacks under axles and removed that bolt. The grease hole was straight down making all the weight of the trailer cover the hole. I put bolt back in with hole pointing up and took grease no problem. Checked again with all jacks removed and still able to grease.
If you decide to remove a wet bolt turn the nut not the bolt. The bolt is not supposed to turn in the shackle.
