Question:

Do you recommend that we grease the new self-adjusters threads or do you find that the factory did a good enough job And if we grease them, do you recommend white lithium grease or some newer synthetic grease? Thanks !!!!

Expert Reply:

On the self adjusting brake assemblies, like # AKEBRK-35L-SA, that I have seen, they have always been adequately lubricated. In the event that you would like to use a different grease, I recommend first cleaning off all of the existing grease as some greases are not compatible. It will not take but a small portion to lubricate the small self-adjusting component. You could use all purpose white lithium grease like # L11354 for this purpose. Be careful not to get grease on other components in the brake assembly.
