If the zerk fitting has a hex base you can use a properly sized wrench to unscrew it. If not, it might be a press-in fitting which will require some prying to remove. A big set of vice grips clamped onto them tightly should give you the leverage to rip them out. With them out of the way you would have the clearance needed to install the Bearing Buddies.
