Quick grease question, Anyone know the npt size of the grease button on a D2. I'm currently away from my machine and want to order fittings. Also as long as I'm here. What's the grease we should be using? I rebuilt all of my rollers and have heard I need to use a semi-soft grease as the harder greases will force out seals. Thanks for any input its all apprieciated.

In this thread there is reference to 7/8" size buttons with 2 different NPT sizes required depending on application.

OO grade grease and be careful of the pressure you apply--the volume type pumps are recommended for that.
