2000 Manitou SX Mircolube ports?
I'm cleaning/tuning up a friends bike to sell it for him. The fork on the bike is a Manitou SX. On the back of both legs there are very small grease ports. What type of grease/lube do I use for these and what do I use to get it in there?
Here's a pic to help show what I'm talking about.
Thanks,
Mike

I have this fork BTW
I use the Prep M lube that Manitou advises for this fork. But at the same time, you will need the Grease injection head. You may be more inclined to take it to your LBS and have them as the head is a bit of a cost.
I would check if it even needs that tho. It may more may not need it. At the same time around here it is only $20 or so for a full rebuild. I would say that is worth it if trading it to a friend.
