Basically:
What grease?
What grease gun?
How often?
Cheers
Nick
Manitou tech m grease
At least monthly and whenever it starts squeaking
Any grease gun, but you can get a specific one with a long pointy nozzle which makes it easier.
Wipe the dirt off the nipples before you inject grease.
Simples!
Cheers, how many squirts does each bush require?
Nick
Yeah same as above but dont do it as much as once a month. Ive only had to replace one set of buhes in 5 years of regular riding. Great system. Dont force grease in though, if you cant get anymore grease in they're done.
It's worth disassembling the horst pivot once in a while as grease injection doesn't always penetratevery well into this one.
Are there any cheaper alternatives to the "official" gun, i've looked on on CRC and they £42 for the gun and grease, seems a expensive to me?
Cheers
Just get the Manitou gun or any Dualco one. Should be £10 tops.

Turner now recommend [i]SuperLube [/i]rather than [i]PREPm[/i]...It's cheaper than PREPm and can be bought from RS Components
Get hold of this nozzle and use a pipe bender to bend it as per the Turner greas gun http://www.billys.co.uk/english/group.php?prod=2dul-mininoz
I'm using SuperLube too. Way less messy.
