Post by JimH » Sat Feb 13, 2021 8:26 pm

Hi guys back again after a 6 year break where does the time go.Just stripped the steering rack looks like it’s been greased with moly grease.I’m sure I’ve seen LM grease mentioned in the manual. What do you guys recommend ?
Cheers in advance . :bigrin:

John - I believe that what you need is an EP ( extreme pressure ) lubricant - I would have thought that EP molyslip or the like would do fine - castrol Spheerol epl2 is an example. Alternatively, you could use an EP90 oil but this is messier
