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.
