I have found one on CRC but £40 odd is a lot more than i was hoping for 🙂
Are there any other models out there at a lower price tag or doi have to just bite the bullet 🙁

Just undo one of the shock bolts and swing the shock away when you need to do the zerk behind the shock, and use a normal gun.
If you don't do that you need a screwdriver to get in there to undo the zerk anyway.
Cool, cheers Bud. How often do you grease the zerk fittings, i know turner say 3-6 months in the dry and 10-20 hours in the wet but just wondering if you feel the need for more often / less often.
Cheers 🙂
I bought a tube bending tool and a long grease gun nozzle. Think the nozzle was about £10. Can't remember where I got the nozzle from, it was a link from here. Could send you the bending tool if you like? I suspect I'll never need it again.
mudmonster, thanks for the offer but i have just had a text off mate stalking me on here saying he has an old grease gun at home.
Much appreciated though 🙂
I never bother with the grease gun on my HL 5 Spot. Strip out the whole rear end, clean everything and re-assemble with fresh grease twice a year.
I'm still running on all the original parts after 7 years with this method.

As far as I am aware the Turner bent nozzle is one of these:

A DUALCO 4" Needle Nozzle (but bent) - £11.99
Plus you need a grease gun (if you've not got one) - £12.99
I hand bent the 4" nozzle for my Turner, carefully using fingers and thumbs (they are not that strong) and unless you are hamfisted they should not kink during the process.
I think the Turner one is a bit of a rip off!
Whilst on the subject where do people get the Superlube grease from or do people use anything else please?
