In my experience, almost any grease gun with a hose will suit for all but 3
zerks on a TR4.

For the u-joints on the driveshaft you may have to use a long zerk (some
u-joints came with these) as the space it too tight for some grease gun
tips.

For the zerk on the propshaft/driveshaft slider you'll need some sort of
right-angle attachment to reach in there.

Of course the grease for the steering rack requires you temporarily replace
a bolt (holds a ground cable) with a zerk to get the job done.

If you have used tie-rod ends w/o zerks ('lifetime lubed') you might
consider a needle attachment that lets you add some grease to the boot.
