So my factory 914 repair manual says to lube the ball surfaces of wheel bolts with MoS2 grease. Thats the surface that bears on the wheel bolt cups. MoS2 is molybdenum disulfide I am told (I never took chemistry). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Does anyone do this? What does the lube do? What is the advantage of it? What happens if its not done? What is MoS2 typcially known as...wheel bearing grease or...and is it available at my FLAPS? |
