Question:
The nozzle on my grease gun is too wide for the fittings on the ez lube fittings on my utility trailer. Any suggestions. Thanks

Hey Gene! You're going to need to get a new grease gun. EZ Lube spindles use a 1/4" grease zerk like item # Gzerk which is pretty common but not the only size out there. I can only imagine the mess you're making trying to feed grease into that axle.
I recommend the Heavy Duty Grease Gun item # PTW54290. I grew up on a farm and have used this exact one for close to 20 years now. I really appreciate the flexible hose and the accessibility it offers. It's pretty light weight too and easy to swap out the cartridge.
