    Stupid question:. Ok to grease this?

    Can I grease these?

    I assume yes but just wanted to make sure before I got nasty.

    There is not much motion around the lower centre three bolts, so these are not usually greased. The other five should be "wet bolts" with zerk grease fittings in the bolt heads on the inside of the suspension and this is how these should be greased.

    When you say 'zerk fittings' are these the same as 'grease nipples'? Like these fittings here?

    I'm UK based.
    Different terminology

    I was laying over the wing with the bonnet up when I realised I had left my spanner in the boot.

    (sorry, and yes, they spell realized with an "s")

    And crisps are chips, chips are fries, cookies are biscuits and biscuits are scones. Two people separated by a common language.
