My swiveling nose wheel has gotten jerky. Will just squirting a few
shots of grease in the zert fitting take care of this or do I need to
take it all apart clean, grease and reassemble? 65 hrs. on it.

I would recommend not squirting anything in the grease fitting. Long
a go there were reports of excess grease melting/oozing down on the
bell washer and giving you the shakes on landing. Haven't heard much
lately.
Have been slathering a little #5 grease on the wear points after
dissassembly and put it back together, once a year.
Has worked ok for my first 3,300 landings.
P S check the big washers for burrs. Jerky is not usual. Be sure
and adjust tension for prescribed break out force.
