    The 2016 and 2022 that I had both had a plug with an Allen head. I do remember I tried the needle grease tip with a special plug and had no luck.

    I am not sure about my Lohr, but if it does need grease it appears it will be easier to remove the plug. The Cottrell I could barely see the plug with my readers on. IMG_4793.png

    Lohr is a different mechanism all together. That cap screw releases the head to access the ratchet mechanism, which is 2 pieces of spring steel. Those pieces just flip to reverse for left & right hand.
