Swingarm grease fitting 78 CB750K

I offer a few tips if you break off your swingarm grease fitting while attempting to
remove and clean prior to attaching grease gun:

1. Use a #2 size "Easy Out" or screw extractor
2. Use small needle nose vise grips to turn the easy out while exerting pressure into the broken fitting.
3. Buy a package of 6mm 45 degree fittings as straight fittings won't allow the grease gun to attach
and the 90 deg fitting won't rotate all the way around when installing it.

If you're hamfisted & keep braking nipples, a handy item is available from automotive shops etc.
One end fit s in the greasegun.
The other end is a tapered point that fits into the broken nipple in the swingarm.
