What grease do you use?

I've got a McNaught hand grease gun with the flexy shaft and it works fine.

The only problem I have is tightening the end of the grease gun around the nipple when I have grease all over my hands :(:D

:lol2: :lol2:

thanks for that Si, I've had a seriously $hi# week/month and that sure did lighten things :D

BTW, the standard length Landy Fender nipples are longer than a standard nipple. If anyone has ever fitted standard length ones due to the OE ones falling out you won't get a fitting on them as it will foul the cross/cups.

I know;). I just did that last week. Can't find the proper ones at any auto store.

You could find yourself a Landy with smaller nipples, but really I think you should be attracted to her for her personality.

Or you could take to your grease gun with a file.







Bastard.:D
