I seem to have no end of newbie questions, so thanks in advance.
Swapped out my Doug Bell Tailwheel assembly on an RV8 recently for a lot of metal wear that was on the previous one, and when I greased it up, I used red lithium grease (which is what I had on hand) for greasing the components, including that rectangular thingie with the spring in it, and the other moving parts in there.
Does anyone believe that a different grease would be more appropriate for the task, or does red grease seem fine?
It is working great, but since I'll be doing this every 25 hours or so, might as well use the right stuff.
Thanks once more...I continue to learn from the folks here, and to be grateful for the way everyone shares expertise so generously.
