Squeaky Rear Suspension

Well....dismantled the rear, it really wasn't too bad, until I lost 2 needle bearings in the lower shock mount. Spud covered this in his very well written tutorial, but I managed to mess it up anyway. Gerry at CSC was very cool, and parts are on the way! It wasn't too dry, but some new grease was in order. This endeavor leads me to 2 questions that i was not able to find in the Chinglish owners manual;

1. What is the torque spec for the rear swingarm bolt?
2. What size zerk/grease fitting goes on the 2016 rear swingarm? I thought they were universal, but that's a dumb presumption on my part. My grease gun fitting is too big.

Thanks all!
