Hi everyone, just want to know where is a good place to buy a grease gun for greasing the nipples on the Mini?

I am also going to change the engine oil myself, what size socket do I need for the sum plug?

Thanks,[/img]

the socket is 15/16" - it's used for a lot of nuts on a mini, so will come in handy over the years

as for a grease gun, the sting of a higher price is forgotten long after the pain of an inferior product, a decent grease gun will last longer than you will ;)

with grease guns you get what you pay for. But even a Supercheap one will work. Make sure it takes a standard grease cartridge.
I use a Macnaught (was made in Oz).

Sump plug socket size is 15/16" A/F.

Sump plug is 15/16ths, there has been a discussion recently on grease guns, do a search you should find it.

It is only supposed to be greased every time the motor is out anyway.
The problem is my Morris 1100 has never had the motor out in 43 years. :lol:
