Brake grease

(1/2) > >>

smoothoperator:
What is a good grease for the rear brake drum pivot please. The stuff I've cleaned off was nice and sticky and what I have in my grease gun is just general purpose, clearly too runny for this job. I have searched the forum but to no avail. Google wasn't much better.

Oddjob:
Red grease should be ok, it's high temp.

ka-ja:
Thin smear of moly. grease or copper grease works a treat.

Oddjob:
Copper grease isn't really a lubricating grease though, it's more of an anti seize grease for threads to stop galling etc.

ka-ja:
Copper grease can dry out, but it won't melt or run at high temperatures, and we aren't talking about fast rotations, just loading.
