I believe the napa part number for the grease gun tip is 715-1200. And of course youll need a grease gun with grease.

Here's a pick of the tip needed for referance

I prefer this type of gun



You'll want one with the hose attatchment (makes life so easier) and then Try to get synthetic grease if you can. If you can't this will work just as well.

Why do you prefer that over a air powered grease gun?
