Hi
With the help from my earlier thread I managed to release the brake shoes on the rear n/s brake drum. ( thank you). I am now about to carry out a check and lubrication of the brake drum components and wanted to check something please.
I have a 17 inch breaker bar to get the stud nuts off the splined adapter and a torque wrench to tighten the new nuts. My question is
What grease/lubricant do I use on the shoe tips, cylinder/backplate slide and adjuster? In the absence of Girling white grease I have read that you should use PBC, White Lithium Grease, Copper grease (some of which I have), PTFE grease etc. Which should I use?
Also, should I use thread loc on when tightening the new stud nuts and what torque should I use, 65-70ftlb?
Once I have done this I intend to adjust the handbrake linkage using the method suggested by Norman Nock to reduce the current 10 clicks.
Thanks again
Steve
