Grease gun.. stihl?

So... on stihl hedge trimmers, strimmers, etc there is a plug which can be removed for grease filling. However rather than use the stihl tubes of grease that thread in to the hole the plug came from I wondered if there is an adapter that can be fitted on to a regular grease gun? :001_smile:

Think you can screw in a grease nipple instead of the plug . Then you can use a regular grease gun . Did it on my Husqvarna kit anyway .

Never thought of screwing in a grease nipple. I don't suppose anyone knows the housing thread size?

 

11 x 1.5 I think and there are no off the shelf grease nipples that size. Eagle eye has the right idea, just drill and tap a blank plug.

You can buy an attachment for a normal grease gun which you can just screw into the thread.

I use this for exactly the same purpose.
