Can the 30-800 Trailer Jack Be Rotated 120 Degrees So Grease Zerk is Accessible

Question:

Can the topgear head with the side crank handle be rotated 120 degrees? In my installation, rotating the gear head would allow access to the grease fitting. In the original setup, the grease fitting would be blocked by a tool box on the trailer tongue. My finger is pointing to the gear head in the attached picture. If possible, how does one rotate it? Thanks.

Assuming the spacing between the three mounting bolts is equal, you can rotate the jack. 120 degrees, but keep in mind that the toolbox could interfere with the crank.

If you used a grease gun with a flexible nozzle like # 30-800, you'd be able to access the zerk fitting without rotating the jack.
