    Grease nipples

    Hi all.

    I was greasing my nipples on Friday night and the front drive shaft nipple broke off. Getting it out is no problem. Easy outs will sort that. However where do you buy them from? I've never had to buy them before and never seen them for sale.
    Anyone know what thread/type etc they are so I buy the right ones first time around?

    Thanks.

    Thanks but I'll buy some after work tomorrow. Have to pick up some Loctite, thread sealant, engine oil and oil filter while I'm there anyway.

    I only need one but will get a few as spares.

    Grease nipples are available from any auto supply shop - but they come in a wide variety of threads, so I suggest you take along the bit you recover with the easi-out. I'm guessing the Disco has 6mm metric, but it is only a guess - I don't know!

    You will probably have difficulty getting one or even a small number, but you can probably get an assortment, which may solve the thread problem!

    (My assortment came from a clearing sale, added to when disassembling stuff)

    Why not ask Defender 90 for some of that as well. You know, One Stop Shopping.
