Is there a special size of zirk fitting I need for my grease gun for a 2004 Yamaha four stroke? I used a standard one and it got stuck.

No special size. They sometimes get stuck if the pressure won't release due to blockage. Try a needle point fitting and it might unclog it some. If you get it stuck bad, just slightly unscrew the hose or tip to let the pressure out of the nozzle and it will usualy come off OK. You can also unscrew the zerk and clean it out or replace it. Sometimes that will fix it as well.
Some can be a real @@#$. The fitting for the shift linkage under the powerhead was real tight to get on and when I got it on it wouldn't come off. I wound up unscrewing the fitting and taking the hose off the grease gun. Even with the hose in a vice I couldn't get the fitting out.
