Door hinges greasing
« on: November 27, 2016, 05:46:32 »
My hinges don't have a greasing nipple. Is this correct for a 230SL?
What's the correct way to grease these hinges?
Thanks for any advice....

Hi, I can remember Andy Burns getting new pins machined for some of these hinges.  I'm pretty sure if you look on the other side of the hinge, you will see a small hole that a needle nosed grease gun fitting will fit into.
