Hi guys, I need some advise regarding greasing the bottom offsite grease nipple.
I was able to grease the nearside top and bottom easily (could be a good reg number plate - Viper) enough however it was impossible to attach the coupling to the bottom driver side nipple. Even with wheel off. In the end I had to loosen off the shock absorber/damper nut to get enough space to be able to connect to the grease nipple. The question is - is it good practice to put spacer/washer(s) on the grease nipple to get the correct position. Or could I put a spacer washer on the damper to move it away from the nipple. Any advise welcome.
