does anybody put grease on this?
ordinary grease OK?
Silicone lubricant in spray can ?
The manual says to grease it up. PTFE is basically Teflon I think ,one of the slipperiest things out there , fry pan coating stuff. The washers mentioned are impregnated with bronze particles , to lengthen their lives and strengthen them up a bit. Grease would help with the wear shufflings.
Someone told me to use the Silicone spray so I picked up a can and sprayed up the dry (grease long gone) isolastic washers on the MK 111 . Now I'm realizing as suggested this should be a grease so now I have to get grease onto them somehow . I'll back off the 2 main bolts , back off the adjusters ,work in the grease somehow then readjust to specs , then tighten up the 2 bolts/studs again. I'm thinking using the tube of red silicone grease I have already.
