Hi, I too have had difficulty with stubborn grease fittings on a M20C. Pneumatic grease gun really helped. A really great source of fittings is https://www.huyett.com/ It's always good to see nicely painted LG. Kudos

Based on visuals, my M20C flew with elevator down maybe 5 degrees. Many long cross country flights, altitude up to 16,000'. Its TAS was always decent so I didn't worry about it.
