You can always wipe off the excess or traces likely to attract dirt. Same goes for grease nipples (zerks). Wipe them clean before greasing and wipe again afterwards, including the ooze that comes out of the assembly. There’s a periodic advert I get on FB of a firm selling grease guns. They click on a filthy nipple, apply the lube, then remove leaving surplus grease everywhere. If I’d done that as an apprentice at Jaguar in my very distant youth, I’d have been fired on the spot.<div><br></div><div>Jonmac<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">At the Battle of Waterloo, 1815:<div>Lord Uxbridge: “By God, Sir - I’ve lost my leg”</div><div>Duke of Wellington: “By God, Sir - so you have!”</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On 9 Jul 2020, at 12:48, EDWARD WOODS <<a href="mailto:fogbro1@comcast.net">fogbro1@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

My first thought was that at my age applying any lubricant to ease future disassembly is a waste of time and money unless I'm doing so in consideration of the next owner.

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Actually, this raises an interesting question. When restoring something like the long forward bolt that clamps the leaf spring to the frame, everyone who's done such faces the herculean task of dislodging this, especially when (OMG, can't fathom the thought) attempting it without having the body off the frame.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">When re-assembling such, including the similar caliper bolts that don't get removed for extended periods, I've preferred Anti-Seize to any kind of grease. I've found the latter to be a magnet for dirt and debris that over a long (okay, long-long-long) time, dry up faster than anti-seize.</span>
