Title: Grease?
Post by: 90grad on July 27, 2005, 05:30:41 am
All,

I tore down the can rack on my VMC 56 and noticed some type of grease in gate release mechanism that runs vertically up the side of the rack.  I am going to repaint the rack, but I want to put the right grease back in there.  Any suggestions?

Wayne,

I think your best bet would be White Lithium Grease.
I utilize it in a tub container as opposed to spray because I think the spray is a little too messy. I have a little brush that I can apply the grease onto or into the moving parts' area.

I agree with Jim. White Lithium is great stuff. I didn't know they made it in anything other than spray. I am going to have to buy a tub of it. The spray is messy.

Thanks, guys.  Is this stuff readily available at places like Home Depot?

I purchased a small tube of it at Sears a few months ago. I have used it on all the hinges in my house and car doors. and on my choice vend 168.

White Lithium grease is the only way to go.
