Does anyone have the MB part number for this. I know you can swap them for standard nipples but I would like to leave them as they are. I want the part as I don't trust MB to do it when it is serviced.

Oh and its a 2001 G in case that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to keep the standard nipples? If you do so, and get the MB fitting then you need a rigid hose in your grease pump and then you need a lot of room underneath your G to grease your propshafts -something most folk lack. That is why changing the nipples seems to be such a great idea: this way you can use the standard flexible hose in your grease gun and lay underneath your G for the greasing.

It just seems easier that's all. I have switched them on my 280, I just want to leave the other one as it.

Hi Dan,
I liked the flat type too, & bought what i tought was the right size adaptor but it was to big so now i just take out the flat type & put in an ordinary one while i'm doing the greasing. Sound tedious but it's not so bad.
