I'm not sure about the exact size, I would just take one out and match it up at the hardware store.
When I used my Snowseeker grease fitting I used Mobil 1 red synthetic grease and did both sides with a single tube, about 22/24 pumps per side in my case. Be very careful taking the ABS sensor out as they are plastic and can break if forced too much, little wiggles are the best bet.

What was your clue that 22-24 pumps of grease was enough per side?

That's when the unit bearing became full, you will see a little grease start to ooze out of the seams and the resistance may increase a little. Following my bearing greasing I had very little flung grease from the slight ooze out. be sure to keep spinning the hub around as you pump the grease in.

Based on the photo, will I only need to block off one port for both hubs?

What a great Idea see! When I replaced the hubs on my 00 I thought why isn't there a way to use this passage that would just collect water and gunk going right to the hub and Filled with Grease! So, Snoseeker it is

Greetings Gents.....and Ladies.........
After several months with the Mile Marker hubs, I have come to realize that my front end has a NASTY rattle when I hit bumps in the road.....a kind of hollow sounding rattle. I have checked everything, even replaced the front shocks twice tracking down the rattle. Sunday afternoon I was putting the passengers wheel back on after replacing the shock. I bumped the hub and reproduced the rattle that I have been hearing.
I can wiggle the entire hub by hand.....the 6 allen head screws are tight. I pulled the 6 screws out and put some grease around the o ring....helps minimally.
Any ideas?????

Greetings all......
Well I returned the mm hubs today.....I put the old oem hubs back on and the rattle is gone.....
The manager at Advance asked if I installed the conversion kit with the hubs....I said no....didn't know there was a conversion kit.
Would the conversion kit have eliminated the rattle??? Do the Warn hubs require a conversion kit as well??
Thanks.........
