They are a PITA to get off with out damaging them!
The part number is on the next page down in TM...at least for the M1083's. No NSN but they do give a part number. I've looked for them last year for several months but could not locate any.
Fine someone that is dismantling and parting out a FMTV and see if they will sell you some.
I had several grease zerks on the suspension that were clogged and full of old grease that had harden up. I did all that you have did, except for the heat. I used a long thin screw to screw into the grease zerk opening and then pull straight out removing some of the old grease on the threads...
