I called their support number and was given a Milwaukee part number,
49080800. It is a one pound jar of grease that costs $10.25. I don't think I
really need that much grease for this one job. The support representative
was kind enough to read the label on the grease and it said, "Grease type A,
consistency rating 2, soft semi-fluid." I'll see if I can find a local place
that stocks this in smaller quantities.
Thanks for your reply.
