Not owning a conical grease gun, it seems the easiest route is to change over the two different grease nipples to the traditional type. Does anyone know the thread size please?

You could remove a current grease nipple and take it to a decent motor factor (you know who I am not referring to!) and match the thread to an easier to access grease nipple and so change all the many grease nipples. It makes life so much easier in the long run, in my experience.

Found my thread measure and I think they are m8x1 and m6x1. We shall see!

I don't have sizes at hand but the centre grease nipple is a different size to those fitted on the joints.
