Default Aileron/Flap Bearing Lube
So i am assembling my aileron and flap brackets. What lube do I use during assembly? I am tempted to us some moly disulfide wheel bearing grease from the aviation isle of autozone. But any recommendations? I think i need a grease that is good at - 10f or so?

Default Rei
Rei has the bike version of Beolube T9.. it seems like it is all the same for all applications from the manufactures website. But I cant find any temp data, just have to assume it is OK because it is from Boeing?

Default I'm using Tri Flow Dry Lube
Boeing T-9 would do just as well. In these applications, a dry lube is preferable because it doesn't attract and hold dirt (IMHO).
