Well being a bit of a lazy tit myself, I havent touched the mini's grease nippless for ages. Was wondering - is there a proper procedure for greasing them up? Oh and the old grese gets worked out with time, but is there a way of extracting it (or any need to do so)?

You are a bad man...the Mini needs grease :!:

Just clean up each nipple and then pump away until clean grease is seen coming through... :D

Yes Mike U are bad, very bad... <smack><smack>... :lol:

Mine gets done every filter change, 3000 miles, so I don't forget. 3000 miles is recommended by Mr BMC and Mr Leyland... 8)

There are 3 each side at front, 1 each side at rear, and 1 in an impossible spot on back of diff housing (magic wand & remote boxes).

Note- I give the 2 rear trailing arm ones about 15 pumps each...
Bushes are still not worn after 35 years. :wink:

Perhaps if they looked more like real nipples you'd get around to greasing them more often ;)

No, LMM is really a CV etc grease. Use a Lithium based EP2 general purpose grease. I'm currently using Mobil Supergrease, but most others eg Valvoline, Castrol are good. :wink:
