Thread: What grease for MT82-LT230 coupling splines?

I use molybdenum grease the same stuff used to lube universal joints and cv joints.

Thanks Justin, the specs on the spheerol appear to be just the ticket.

I've heard the term "copper grease"?....anybody else heard that?
Pickles.

Copper Cote is usually used as an anti sieze . First started in the drilling industry to prevent drill rods from being unable to be undone. We use it on long bolts like 300tdi water pump through p gasket ones or anywhere where corrosion is inevitable.

Jc, how often would you recomend a puma owner have their output shaft greased?
Im thinking it should be a servicable item and checked every 40k or 2 years?

What JC recommended.

Any decent Li complex or even better, Ca Sulfonate soap based grease with a minimum 3% moly (5% is better) will do.
Calcium Sulfonate greases resist corrosion better than any other soap base.

Anti-seize, either copper or Nickel based are ok, but I think an NLGI #2 grease with lots of moly and perhaps other lubricating solids (lead was a really good one but is illegal these days) is better.
MoS2 is excellent for extreme pressure/slow speed situations when the hydrodynamic boundary layer of a lubricant breaks down, eg, splines.

Great post Rick. But should one make their output shaft a servicable item at a certain interval?
