Propshaft

[Guest Twoscoops]

Basic question really but the propshaft supplied with the 2B has got grease nipples right.....does this meant that the proshaft has already been greased or not...????

[Guest TerryBarry]

I'd assume that it hasn't.

Shove some more in - if it's full the excess will just come out and you can wipe it clean

how do you shove grease in-

undo the nipple thingies, then what - force grease into the tube?

Use a grease gun. Only £10 from the kit car shows.

OK

For "shove" read - inject using a suitable grease gun - taking all necessary precautions for dealing with high viscosity petroleum product under pressure.

Hi there,

Any general purpose high melting point grease

For example:- lithium, molybdenum disulphide or EP2 type grease will do.

I'm based in Camberley and about halfway (optimistically) through a 2B build if you want to observe a RH lunatic at work contact me via a PM on this board.

Cheers,

Terry

Now there's a job to add to the list. I've not greased my propshaft yet, and it's done 1200 miles now!

[Guest Andy Rathbone]

tsk tsk Ant driving round with un-greased nipples, surly that cant be good?

[Guest Ant]

I'll grease them as a precautionary measure, but I don't think RHE make the propshafts themselves, they buy them in, in which case it'll be pre-greased anyway. Though obviously this is only speculation.

Thanks for all your replies...I just had to explain to the missus who's nippples I was greasing......could of been dangerous...!!!!!

 

When I'm further through the build Terry I might just have to come round for a nose...
