On my CJ, all the grease fittings have been replaced with western nipple/ze rk types (readily avail at my ACE Hardware), and they work very well. Howev er, a word of caution: the uppermost forward grease fitting on the main gea r trunnions should stay the low-profile Chinese type. This trunnion - at least on my CJ6 - has a very close tolerance to the adja cent beefy wheel well mounting bracket, and when the MLG retract, a protrud ing zerk would strike the expensive bracket. Western zerk fittings typically have a protruding height of ~1/4-inch, whic h would definitely shear off during MLG retraction, or worse.=C2- All oth er LG sites tho, western zerks do great for me.

Can anyone recommend or steer me to where I can purchase a grease gun fitti ng that works with the stock Chinese grease nipples as fitted to the main g ear 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?)

It can be difficult or impossible to get the back off; they are threaded on and require a watch style pin wrench. =C2-Securing the compass body with out damaging is difficult. Once off, drain, clean replace fluid, replace seal and refill.
