Does anyone know of a U.S. replacement for the stock English grease fittings on the rear brake calibers???? Napa says they have nothing that long or that thread. Thank you.

 

The ONLY grease fittings on these cars are the 4 in the rear HALF SHAFT U Joints!!!!!!!!

The brake calipers have AIR BLEED fittings.

The NAPA employee didn't realize that was a bleeder? I would stay away from that store.

 

Ain't so sure it was the stock clerk's fault: grease nipples on brake calipers. Sounds like someone ought not to be working on his car!!!

Over at the Dorman display, you should find a bag with all sorts of hydraulic brake bleed nipples.

 

Now that sounds like a recipe for disaster!
Given a choice, I'd opt for watering down the gas. :-)

 

Sounds like Jhartz & chris-jag new EVERYTHING THE DAY THEY WERE BORN. Try to remember your roots Life is much better.

 

Please don't be turned off by the comments, we are always ready to help.

 

KNEW everything after 60 years of working on cars. But still learning more every day: especially on this forum.

 

Apologies if my comment sounded insulting in anyway at all. The humour was directed at your mechanic though.
It did remind me of an old neighbour many, many, years ago that once advised me to grease the brake pads on my bicycle because they were squealing.
I chose not to in that instance.

For future ref, there are two pins that do need greasing every so often but that requires disassembly.

For what it's worth, I'd know next to nothing about these Jags if it weren't for this forum, plus a liberal helping of Youtube.
I started working on mine myself, precisely because of those kind of responses from mechanics being paid a very healthy hourly rate.
