Syringe is too small. The pedals are designed for the end of a grease gun.
I've used both. Found the plastic syringe to work just as well. Need to push the tip and hold the cap since grease tends to want to back-out rather than flush through.
Without the needle would probably work. I just remembered I have one for priming espresso pumps. But the grease gun is handy, doesn't need to be loaded, clean, stays attached to the grease tube, etc.
