Fascinated by this thread, I went to the workshop to look at my greasegun. The nozzle has some very shallow knurling - certainly not the sort of roughness one would expect to be manipulated with grease around.
It took a lot of effort with channel-lock pliers and a vice to loosen the nozzle tip. I get the feeling that the knurling was more cosmetic than intended to be functional and that the tip was not intended to be loosened.
I decided to do a bit more Googling on the subject and found this

Back to the workshop to try this method. Works perfectly with my grease gun.
