Drive shaft spline lube

[warp9.9]

Is there any particular facial expression that should be adopted whilst carrying out this task?

No its really a easy job. Most people read or design to much into it. Kind of like which grease is best now that it getting hard to find the honda lube. Myself I use Molykote. Hood enough for aerospace goid enough for the Rocket. That and it was free

It looks like my boring thread has new meanings now. I never thought there would be so many variations or meanings for spline lubrication.

I’m surprised this post has remained ‘on topic’ for so long. Generally this site goes nuts when someone talks about ‘lube’.

When lubing a shaft.....

Or where ever you shove your shaft. Now the question is - do you lube up the shaft or the receptacle the shaft is to be inserted into?

Why not both. Excess lube never hurt anyone or anything... well, except weather sealed bearings
