Does anybody know what tip I need to grease the front brake cable, front and rear brakes and the axles. My grease gun does not fit tightly and I was wondering if I could buy an adaptor tip.
Thanks,
Cole

I had to go to a couple auto parts stores with my grease gun and a zerk fitting to find the correct adaptor tip.

I didnt have any troubles using a traditional grease lead. Just had to hold pressure on as it does not (lock on) to the fitting. A needle grease adapter should be available at most auto parts stores.

Same here. If you just hold the gun nozzle tightly against the fitting, you can pump grease into it with no problem.

I ended up borrowing a grease gun from a friend like the yahama one that was suggested on here. All fittings are now greased as well as the front brake cable.
Thanks, Cole
