Size grease nipples??

Cheesehead · #1 (**permalink**) 10-02-2013, 10:34 AM

I need to replace the grease nipple on the front suspension (the one that is most close to the road)

What size (threadsize) do I need?

Thanks

Closest to the road might be the swaybar chassis block? Either way, remove the fitting from the opposite side and duplicate it. Tough part is removing the broken threaded section.

I think they are self tapping.

Thanks everybody. This what I did:

First I noticed the thread was a bit damaged. I bought a few (different) nipples that were close, but a bit bigger. Then I made a new thread, fitted one of the grease nipples with a bit Loctide 271. It looks o.k. to me. Tomorrow I will add some grease and hopefully that will do it.
