Did you work out what metering units you need yet?
I ended up stripping the autolube on my mill (it's a shizouka ST-N - think bridgeport size but heavier!), as when I took the burst pipe of, I could see the first distribution block was full of sludge. Carburetor cleaner worked wonders at cleaning the sludge out, and managed to get good flow through all but 4 of the metering units. The ones that didn't clear were full of black solidified dirt/oil.
If it's any help, on the Shizouka, the 6 metering units on the table are 2's (there's 2 for each x-axis slideway, and 1 for each of the y-axis slideway). The 6 covering the knee are all 1's and the solitary quill unit is a 2. The ballscrews all rely on grease.
I had already found Lubetec via google, so I filled in their contact form with what I needed on sunday night, and I had a full quote back on monday morning. I phoned today to pay for it, so should have all the bits by the end of the week to get everything working.
