I have bought a few grease nozels and have yet to find one that will fit into the fitting on my W126's hinges. I want to grease my doors I am sure they have never been done. Is their an official MB tool? I need to talk to the dealer maybe their is an official grease fitting? Anybody find something that works?

If these are like those on the W123, that is to say a concave conical shape with a little hole at its center, I have a grease gun attachment that works great. I'm not sure where I got it, but it is about a 2" long cylinder with a conical point at its tip and a small diameter hole.
Try Northern Tool (www.northerntool.com) or any major tool outfit like Matco, Snap-On, etc.

Go to www.northerntool.com and type: "Oregon grease gun" in keyword search. There you will see the little W.German made grease gun which is made exactly for this. Cost $20 . Neat, it also does regular grease zirks.

(For some reason NT put it under chain saws. But if they put it under Mercedes it would probably cost twice as much. )

I use the same one that I use on my chain saw bar roller. Fits the 116 and 123 body styles.

You have to make sure the dimple in the hinge sleeve isn't caked with crud. If it is the grease will squirt out around the nipple rather than being forced into the hinge.

I've always used a needle nozzle on my grease gun (Lincoln needle nozzle model 5803), maybe they're plugged up. Try a sharp pin or needle to clean them out first, good luck

so the needle on the grease gun, from what Ive seen they have a diagonal tip. How far do you push in the bearing in the opening? As far as it will go? can you damage the bearing or spring?

does the grease ooze out of the holes after you puncture the boot with the needle? Or do you get under the boot somehow?
