Multi purpose grease for everything and if you remove the end fitting from the grease gun pipe the thread will screw in about 1 1/2 turns into the pipe fitting hole as it is a different thread and that is enough DO NOT FORCE IT or you wreck the caliper

Got myself a grease gun earlier and it worked like a charm, thanks for the advice.
Onwards to the next challenge, the front axle it stuck tight in the wheel, put a screwdriver through the end with a hole in and clamped it in a vice then heated the nut on the other side with a blow torch until it was so hot i was worried the aluminium bits would start to melt. got a spanner on it and hit it with a hammer for about 15 minutes and it didn't budge. I don't have a deep socket that size (17mm i think), looks like ill have to get one so i can get a breaker bar on it.
On another note I'm off rock climbing in switzerland! Peace out 8)

Well I'm back and able to work on the bike for a few days before i head off again and the project gets put on ice until late october ;D
Sprayed the upper (previously rusty) parts of my fork stanchions today, look a lot better. Hammerite smooth rattle can stuff is actually pretty good.
Half on the lookout for a replacement right hand switch gear, some seem to have a headlight on/off switch below the kill switch and some don't, whats that all about? The listings were for the same year as well :-\

Interesting, Is it/was it legislation in the US for bikes to always have lights on?
