| Subject: | Cj6 grease nipple fitting |
Can anyone recommend or steer me to where I can purchase a grease gun fitting that
works with the stock Chinese grease nipples as fitted to the main gear and
nose legs?
I believe it's a called a button head fitting.
Also what's the best grease to use in there (Aeroshell no?)

Replace with US grease nipples. They fit.

Grainger sells button head fittings and the button head tool.

Hey Harv -
I've had great success using Aeroshell #5 in all my LG fittings.
On my CJ, all the grease fittings have been replaced with western
nipple/zerk types (readily avail at my ACE Hardware), and they work very
well. However, a word of caution: the uppermost forward grease fitting on
the main gear trunnions should stay the low-profile Chinese type.
This trunnion - at least on my CJ6 - has a very close tolerance to the
adjacent beefy wheel well mounting bracket, and when the MLG retract, a
protruding zerk would strike the expensive bracket.
Western zerk fittings typically have a protruding height of ~1/4-inch,
which would definitely shear off during MLG retraction, or worse. All
other LG sites tho, western zerks do great for me.
