Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to prime a grease gun when
it loses its prime? This is a perennial messy problem for me, and I
figured I'd ask the experts. Thanks,

Depends on your gun.  My cartridge type has a bleed screw at the top and
it has a T-handle and rod.  If the grease is really cold or heavy I open
up the bleeder.  If the grease is warm, the t-handle will turn and push
all the way in and pull back out easy making a channel for the air to
come to the back of the tube and grease fills it in.  Several
repetitions are needed sometimes.  I seldom have to use the bleeder
screw, too messy anyway.
