Steering unit plug: what size grease nipple?

PostPost by: yellowelan » Mon Sep 16, 2013 2:33 pm

I'm reading the workshop manual and it states that one should remove the steering plug and fit a grease nipple and apply 5 strokes of grease before refitting plug every 20,000kms. Can anyone tell me what diameter grease nipple I need?
