Clutch Release Bearing Lube/BH Lug
Originally posted over on the xroc but theres a bit of tumbleweed blowing about there at the mo..... 
Sorry for the direct copy and paste...
Evening lads,
Now that i'm nearly at the end of my quest I thought i'd make sure that the clutch release bearing is properly lubed up on the input shaft
sleeve. As its been sat about the sleeve will need a wet and dry session to clear the surface rust off before i put anything on it -
recommendations?
Apon inspection when the old arm came off i noticed a plastic type cover over the lug on the belhousing where the arm clips into - this was rather
mullered and I was wondering if its worth not putting anything back on or making up another sleeve type item out of cut down small rubber tube for
example.
Once its in it aint coming out in a while so i want to get things lubricated and located correctly first time
Any advice (as always) most appreciated.
Cheers
G

Nooooooo........!
For all sliding clutch bits, the best thing to lube them with is Moly grease.
Copaslip is to stop things seizing, not to keep things moving.

Speaking of greases, I'd love to know of a website or something that lists the various kinds of grease and what they're used for.
So far I've picked up that you want LM grease for wheel bearings and copper grease for anti-squeal on brake pads, and a few other specific
things (it's used in three places when you reassemble sierra calipers, for example)
Don't know what kind of grease we should pack our driveshaft cv joints with.. moly?

You can buy the little plastic cover that you are talking about from a Ford main dealer and costs about 20p

Try Molybdenum Disulphate grease
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

It is the ideal lubricant where it is likely to be under high stress, exposed to the elements, or have the possibility of 'drying out'.
Good for kingpins, (not that many folk use kingpins on their locosts...) sliding bits on clutches, C.V. joints, sliding bits on brake calipers/pads
(as long as it doesnt come into contact with any rubber hydraulic seals) and prop UJ's. etc.

Go nito your local motor factors and ask for some grease suitable for CV joints. Or more specifically Molybdenum Disulphate grease (cheers Mark!). If
they aint got any then you really are shopping in the wrong place.....
