Grease Nipples, Zerks, Fittings

[BruceK]

I'm tired of trying to grease my Mini's front suspension only to have the grease fittings not accept any new grease. I've tried heating them up with a heat gun to soften any old hard grease that may be blocking them, but still no luck putting new grease in. I'm talking about both the ball joints and the upper arm grease nipples not accepting grease. (No problems greasing the rear trailing arms).

So I plan to replace the grease fittings but I don't want to have to get them from MM or Seven and way overpay with shipping for what should be available online, say from Amazon.   Does anyone know the size grease nipples the Mini uses?

I think the thread size is 1/4-28, I have a bunch let me go check. You can get them at any auto parts store, BTW. Just pop one of the old ones out and take it with you - they are not metric

Yep, 1/4-28. Get straight and angled. Any auto parts store.
