Posi-Lube spindles?

My new Magic Tilt Trailer is equipped with the posi-lube spindles. Last week I was shooting a couple of shots of grease to one of the hubs and the zurk fitting just pulled out and was still attached to the grease gun. The fitting threads were stripped and the fitting was not what I am used to seeing. The fitting shoulder where you would have a hex head was all round. There was no way a socket wrench could have screwed this on. Anybody have any experience with this? I guess I need to figure out what the thread is supposed to be and run a tap in the hole to see if I can get another fitting in there.

Yep, they are pressed in fittings. I had some on a different piece of equipment. Tap it out and thread one in.
