I do mine every year, as I do my pre-mot checks. Just one tip to add, it’s much easier to get the grease in if you raise the front wheels, just off the ground to take the weight off.
I always do that, but I didnt show how to do the grease insert as I assumed they would know how to apply the grease. I just told people they need to get this done as it's very important.
I use Mobil Mobilux EP2 NLGI 2 Grease: Which is a premium quality multi-purpose, lithium-base, which is recommended for general industrial applications. It contains an extreme-pressure additive for increased load-carrying ability. Most people just use / put any type in all of there grease nipples, which is ok I suppose. But I use the Mobile stuff... Plus I try to regrease every six months, not that it is needed every six months, but you and I know I wont have any issues with the king pins if I do that.... Also make sure you jack up each wheel before you grease each king pin, that way the grease with flow through the joints easier.
