How to remove Zirk fitting question

My Cub Cadet 127 has what I think is a 48" mower deck. See 3 photos attached.

The zirk fitting on the center pulley will not take grease. The little ball at the tip of the fitting presses in and out but still the fitting will not take grease. So I tried to unscrew the fitting but the fitting just spins like the threads are stripped.
One photo shows a wrench on the top nut of the pully shaft and a second wrench on the hex base of the zirk fitting

Does anybody know if these Zirk fittings are the kind that press rather than screw in and out?

Elsewhere, I have seen the unthreaded kind with barbs instead of threads. If this is a threaded fitting I do not want to try to just yank it out as if it were the press in kind.

FYI, It appears that the zirk fitting must first be removed before the top nut on the pulley shaft can be removed.

Thanks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
