- I'm pretty sure the thread is actually 1/8-27 NPT (National Pipe Tapered). Should be able to buy a tap at most hardware stores, Sears, etc. You'll likely either have to grind the end of the tap off,

- I'm pretty sure the grease fitting has a pipe thread. It's most likely a 1/8" pipe thread. This is a taper thread with 27 tpi, (not 28) and has a pitch diameter at the smallest end of the taper of .3
