  Hi Tony,
  
  You should use EP90 gear oil and NOT grease.

      I've used one of the half-size grease guns by Wanner for about 14 years. Just make sure you find one with an effective fitting to the nipple - I have a very similar Draper gun which I bought while I had temporarily lost the Wanner an the oil simply leaks everywhere at the union. I'm sure it's possible to buy good quality unions to use with any gun, but you shouldn't have to, should you?
      The Wanner unit was available from Homebase (I think) as of a couple of years ago, but I've not checked recently.
      Cheers,
      Bill.

        If anyone is interested I can supply high pressure grease guns (similar to the photo below) at £25 each plus p&p
        Contact me at gordon@cm73.evesham.net if interested.

  Is there much difference between EP90 and EP80, only I've got 3litres of 80 and wondered if it would be OK to use in the trunnions?
