Johno Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I've heard replacement brake adjusters are made of monkey metal! So I've spent some time (arguably to much) to unseize my own original ones. So without wanting to sound sense were the little piston and the adjuster spigot ever lubricated with anything, or left completely dry. If so what?

poppyman Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 If it was mine they would well lubricated with coppaslip Johno. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Cheers that's where I was going if anything. Just the whole grease and brakes thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkel Kunkel Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 It’s more anti-seize rather than lubricant we’re after here, so copper grease would seem best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 originally probably white /clear mechanical brake grease heat proof and lubricant copper slip can go hard with heat /age and make things less than lubricated even though its not seized various brands are easy available on the market place or factors Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Longhurst Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I recall using Castrol PH White (Brake) Grease back in the late 70's and 1980s - if I remember correctly it was recommended because it was 'waterproof' (it also had marine applications). It did the job. Not sure why I started using copper later on - probably because I had a tube to hand. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
