Volume 6, page 4.1-2/1 (where did these germans ever learn to number pages (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ?) of the factory manual says under 'Wheel Change':
"Observe the following: 1. Coat ball surfaces of wheel bolts with an MoS(sub2) paste. (Type 914/6 has wheel nuts.)" What is this paste? I have heard previously it is silicone grease. Is that correct...I am not a chemistry guy... Not that I would ever buy any, much less look for any in the stores... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) but just on a whim...I went looking for 'silicone grease' at FLAPS. They had wheel bearing grease, synthetic grease, white (lithium) grease, red grease...but no silicone grease. When ever I have removed wheel lug bolts from my alloy Fuchs or Mahles, the bearing surfaces of the bolt and wheel are shiney...so there must be movement there. Does anyone else use a wheel lug lube like the factory manual commands? What kind, brand name, why, and where to get it...? Woulnt the lube prevent a necessary binding action (torque) between the bolt(nut) and wheel, potentially causing wheel loss? I know the lube goes on the bearing surfaces...not on the threads... Your thoughts...esteemed colleagues... |
