While greasing the sleds up last summer the grease zerk for the spindle on the right T-arm pulled out when I tried to pull the grease gun off the zerk. Is there an easy fix for this aside from a new T-arm?

Just plug it off and greas it by taking the spindle out each pre-season. Easier than a new arm, easier one time than tapping for a new zerk.

I have taps so that wouldn't be a problem... what would a guy use to plug the hole?
The stock zerks are pressed in. You can "sometimes" tap it and screw a threaded zerk in. You have to be careful to not use a zirk that is too long so that it binds against the spindle.
The other thing you can do is tack weld a 1/4" nut on the arm. But that is a lot of work and will ruin the powdercoat in that area.

I had no idea they were press in... it damn sure wouldn't stay in there when I tried to put it back in!
What about a small dab of JB weld around the outside of the zerk?

I don't know how well JBWeld will hold, but it can't hurt to try.
