Has anyone found the grease nipple size other than "metric"?

I need to order my gun online, but I don't know the size.

Did you find out the size?

No, I still don't know.

Why do you need to know the size? Isn't there only 3 grease points on the L400? All accessible with a grease gun?

I need to know the size of grease fitting to order so I get one that fits.

There are a few more than 3, depending on a few factors:

Ahh I see, so yours currently has the bolts? The only ones mine has are on the driveshaft.

I greased mine today and I had at least 6

Where were the others??

2 on the tie rod ends, at least two total (maybe 3? I can't remember) on the front and rear drive shafts, and 2 on my upper ball joints (I had to remove the grease nipple from one of my tie rod ends to use on the ball joint [removing the small bolt from the ball joints])

Have you guys thought about checking the shop manual? Then you will know for certain.

Believe it or not, yes.
