This is NOT a post about lubricating a trunnion in use...I know it has
to be 90 weight gear oil. Please read on:-
The official workshop manual states that when replacing the nylon
bushes that go into the front trunnions they should be lightly coated
with 'a zinc based grease'.
My understanding is that a normal Lithium based grease can attract
water over time causing the bolt and the metal shaft inside the nylon
to permanently become one (hands up everyone who had to resort to the
hacksaw / angle grinder / cussing approach when dissassembling). Does
anyone know what is suitable?
