That's the only one.  Unfortunately all grease guns are different -
I have an especially small model because I don't always have much ground
clearance and I like to get the heatshield-equipped cars through the
(tiny) holes Team Doorhandle thoughtfully left in the heatshield.  The
record so far is 27 pumps of the handle (a 1982 WR ur-quattro) to the
first emergence, and another five pumps until all legs were full.

Keep pumping until clean grease emerges from all four arms of the UJ.
