You had me there for a moment talking about a jerk ... I thought you were referring to the guy that bent your landing leg!!
I soon realized you meant a zerk fitting. Good advice to install a zerk fitting, though metal shavings in the tube would make me nervous. Putting grease on the bit is a good tip.

When my dealer bent one of my front jacks while moving my brand new Monty around on his lot, I got possesion of it when the new one was installed. There is no super duper system on the lone grease jerk towards the top of the outer shell on the newer jacks. All it is is a jerk installed in the outer tube ... when you grease it, grease just haphazardly falls on the inner screw. You could drill a hole on yours, install a grease jerk, and be similar to the new ones. My replacement jack had no jerk, so that is exactly what I did. Coat your drill bit with grease before you drill and most all the shavings will stick to the bit.
