Just bought these pedals. They apparently require greasing through a small port in the end of the pedal. I am not sure where I can find a grease gun - fitting to shoot the grease into the port. Home Depot? Auto parts store? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, or any decent hardware store. Readily available. Just ask for a needle tip grease gun and they will know what you mean.

Pedros (and others) also sell these, often in tandem with their own synthetic greases. Check Performance or other online shops. Don't know whether or not auto or hardware shops would be cheaper (possibly), but you'd absolutely get one that fits when buying the combo (and the combos are usually about $20 including grease that'll last you a long time). You likely won't need to grease the Speedplays until a year or two, though. I used my X2s for about three years before I felt they really needed greasing; more often may be wiser, though (once annually).

Speedplay has it's own grease gun you can order from their website. I have that-works fine. One of my X-3s leaks (small crack) so I grease them every 1000 miles or so; the other pedal I could probably get at least 2000 miles and still have grease in them.
