#1 Grease for handbrake actuators

Post by Tom W » Mon Aug 13, 2018 7:13 pm

What grease do people use when rebuilding the handbrake actuator self adjusting mechanisms? Is this a special high temperature grease?

I just use normal high pressure bearing grease, although you have nothing to lose by using HT grease. The handbrake shouldn't really get very hot.
