Not exactly sure but I think it is a standard pipe thread.&nbsp\\; Maybe someone else will post.&nbsp\\; Why not just take it out and bring it down to replace.&nbsp\\; That's what I did.

Zerk fittings come in two SAE sizes\\; 1/4-28 and 1/8". It has to be one or the other. They're dirt cheap, so just buy one (or a pack) of each.
