Hi all
Looking at the manual many of the LM type greases it recommends for the grease points i.e Castrol LM have been discontinued. Can anyone recommend the best alternative? I’ve looked at Castrol’a website and a few others but it’s a bit beyond me!
Many thanks
Hallam

Hi, I use Molygrease, heavy duty, for all my greasing.(note to self, must get another tube). I have a cartridge gun, but have changed the tip for a clip on type, which I find much better. Do a search for the molygrease and the gun tip, many available. Tip photo for info. I pump grease in until it oozes out at the joins, then wipe the excess off. I use paper towels for all my wiping needs. Easy to come by and don't need washing. Saves bed sheets, too. Herb P.S. How's the radio going? Attachments:

i can see the logic & ease of the guns with the flexible hose but even with a 3oz HILKA cartridge ive had grease everywhere (usually my hands) & none round the trunions, i know its a once a year job but even so its not one i relish as every video ive seen makes it look so easy !!

I've had troubles with the rubber hose, as well. Went back to the rigid connector and things were better, but that clipon end really made the difference.
