What is the best stuff to use for the release bearing shaft and clutch arm pivot point on a 2wd cos?

 

castrol BNS high melt point grease

 

Cheers Dave.
Someone suggested copper slick, is that any good?

 

copper"slip" - and no - its an anti seize compound for where parts don't actually move a lot, like brakes and bolts that need to come undone again(exhaust bolts etc) it does contain small particles of copper and its melt point is not very high at all and so would all drop off and foul the plate anyhow.

 

Cheers, think the person who told must have had a bit of a lisp hence it sounded like slick

 

Anyone else. Not disagreeing with you dave just wondering what other people use.

 

now u got me thinking - ive always used that with no probs, but i found this,.... http://library.cbest.chevron.com/lub...9?OpenDocument which is moly based grease specifiaclly for that type of application

 

Yeah Molecote is the one!

What company makes molecote grease?

 

Don't know but you can get it from Peugeot in a tube. Don't know the part number sorry.

 

i have got hold of some molykote grease, it has 'medium 33' on the side and the temp range is -73 to 180 degrees, is this ok?

 

Can anyone tell me if the above is any good for that application plz

 

I seriously hope your gearbox anint gonna see -73 or 180 degrees so it should be just fine!!

and copper slip cant have a low mwlting point or it wouldnt be much use on brakes would it That said you are not supposed to use it for clutches etc.

Just bang the stuff on you have got but dont put too much on - you dont want it all over the friction plate do you?

 

you shouldn't use copper slip because the particles of copper get inside the release and spigot bearings and cause them to fail! that is the explanation from lockheed or valeo i can't remember which. but if you think about it it makes sense.

 

i've got hold of some castrol high melt point moly based grease (dark grey in colour) so will use that, cheers for help peeps
