grease nipple

denviks:
hi all..... a quick engineering / land rover question.

i am having major problems greasing up the uj's on my disco's props. so i was thinking about fitting the longer type of grease nipples..... i have standards at the moment.

can anyone tell me what the correct size is for the longer ones?

I thought about fitting longer nipples to my joints, however, they are more vunerable to getting bent or broken off.
I have ground down my grease gun on two sides to allow it to fit between the yokes which menas that you dont need to change the nipples to grease it up  :dance:

i did that to my regular sized level greased gun - then I found a small vintage grease gun at a boot sell which fitted perfectly and holds enough grease to do both props. Easier to use (one handed) when under truck, just shove it on nipple and ramp it forward and it springs back.

I just use a standard grease gun and a bod to move car back and forth to maximise the opening? :lol:
