Grease for Tecalemit
I was a lucky lad and received a Tecalemit grease gun for my birthday. What is the best grease to use with it, as the mobil no.4 recommended in the manual doesn't appear to be available anymore?

Hi
I use Castrol LM, it's a multi purpose Lithium grease - though I don't use my Tecalamit gun, I prefer the ease of a more modern one, the Tecalamit is for show
Regards Mick

I also use Castrol LM and I think it's the same 5kg drum that has been in my shed since leaving the motor trade around 50 years ago and it's still 1/4 full so it'll see me out.

I use mine all the time, find it much easier for things like the speedo gearbox and the brake expanders for the wheels I use the next size up. Both must be older than me, nicked from the old man. Or should I use the word borrowed!

Re: Grease for Tecalemit
If not an old Tecalemit gun, what modern guns can be recomended? They seem to have bulky nozzles, all of them.

I have 2 or 3 of them in the shed, one has ep2, another normal grease and the third has some molly in it. Handy for topping up when your doing the visual checks.

Re: Grease for Tecalemit
Other than the Tekelmit, I use a Wanner with LM and another Wanner with liquid grease for the gearbox.

Hi Magnusk750
You can use a needle adaptor to enable a modern gun to service original nipples:
